Will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery?

Following last year’s pause on the use of the procedure, the big question on many people’s lips is this: will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery as other countries have?

One of the primary criticisms over the outcome of the recent changes into the use of vaginal mesh that followed last year’s ban was that it suggested there’s a lack of long-term knowledge. From the tens of thousands of women worldwide who have suffered complications, some of them permanent, there’s clearly a great deal of long-term knowledge out there.

But despite this, the UK has still yet to ban the use of vaginal mesh surgery procedures, and many are left wondering whether a permanent ban will ever take place.

Critics hit out at new vaginal mesh guidelines

Critics have hit out over the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been introduced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

The new guidelines are said to have taken into account the experiences of numerous women who have suffered serious complications caused by vaginal mesh implants. There’s also said to be an increased focus on the need for women to be better informed about the potential risks, some of which can leave women unable to work or walk ever again.

But many believe that the new guidelines don’t go far enough and certainly don’t appear to have truly mirrored the horrendous suffering many women have endured. As a law firm acting for women who have suffered form vaginal mesh surgery, we know how bad it can get.

Bard mesh recall and production ceased

This month, a Bard mesh recall has been initiated, and the company has decided to no longer produce and distribute their mesh devices.

The mesh products made by Bard – C.R. Bard (Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD)) – are for treating POP (pelvic organ prolapse) and SUI (stress urinary incontinence). The recall is voluntary, and the advice so far is that the devices don’t need to be removed. However, anyone who suffers with complications should seek advice immediately.

We know that vaginal mesh complications can be severe, so this element of the case can be significant. The other part we call ‘Special Damages’, and it’s this part where the lost earnings claim is a part of.

Pelvic mesh claims success

Pelvic mesh claims success has varied over the years we’ve been helping people with them. In the U.S., they’ve seen some huge pay-outs. In the U.K., not so much.

It was only recently that the NHS finally put a widespread pause on the use of pelvic mesh implants. This stemmed from growing concerns over the complications that can arise from their use. NICE also suggested that the devices should be stopped late last year, but this was after putting guidelines in place about being careful with them first.

Ultimately, pelvic mesh claims can succeed. But, choosing the right lawyer could be paramount to your chances.
