Pelvic mesh erosion compensation and advice

nhs mesh operations halted

Pelvic mesh erosion is one of the many problems and complications that some women can suffer from when their vaginal mesh or sling goes wrong.

Both the mesh and the surrounding tissue can be subject to erosion, and in either case, the harm to the patient can be severe.
