Vaginal mesh dangers are very real, and they are usually very serious. That’s why what we do is so important when we fight for the rights of the victims who suffer when things go wrong.
Someone has to stand up for the thousands of women worldwide who have suffered life-changing complications and are left with constant pain. The ongoing use of vaginal mesh devices remains a controversial subject. For those who were promised relief from problems, only to suffer worse now, we’re here for you.
The dangers pelvic mesh cannot be understated. Here’s how we can help you.
If you’re suffering from vaginal mesh surgery, we can help when it comes to accessing the justice that you deserve.
As we often say, we can’t turn back time. We’re also not medical experts. But when victims are not being listened to having suffered horrendous complications arising from vaginal mesh surgery gone wrong, we will listen. And we will act.
We are here for you.
Many women suffer a mesh removal nightmare when things have gone wrong and they’re unable to access proper help and support to aid their recovery or manage their symptoms.
In some cases, mesh removal surgery simply won’t work as the devices are intended to be permanent. There are cases where there’s nothing that can be done at all other than simply managing the pain symptoms.
But a claim for personal injury compensation can open doors to the kind of help and support that victims truly need. Here’s a little advice about it.
It’s a known fact that vaginal mesh removal surgery is incredibly difficult to achieve. It can be hard – or in some cases, impossible – to remove. But could new surgical techniques improve the prospects of success?
It’s understood that a pioneering new method of surgery is being trialled in New Zealand that uses robotic arms that are controlled by a surgeon. This new method is thought to be potentially better for surgeons to be able to remove dangerous mesh from inside a patient with greater success and with reduced chances of damage to surrounding tissue.
For the many women who have suffered horrendous virginal mesh complications who have been unable to undergo successful surgery for removal, this new method may bring greater hope.
In important worldwide news about the vaginal mesh scandal, an expert who has helped thousands of victims in the U.S. settle claims has hit out at the plastic used in pelvic mesh devices.
Chartered Chemist Dr Chris DeArmitt has given testimonies that have reportedly helped some 9,000 women in America settle their cases out of court. He says that the testing on the plastic used for the devices is “way less than you would see on a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine”, which is incredibly worrying.
Given the severity of pelvic mesh compilations and how badly they can affect people, it’s incredibly important that the voices of experts like Dr DeArmitt are heard as the worldwide fight for justice continues.
There are some who believe that certain manufacturers have been hiding surgical mesh problems since the day they launched their products in the market.
Many manufacturers continue to deny that there’s anything wrong with the products they produce and sell, and some have passed the responsibility for problems on to alleged poor surgical technique. The longstanding debates and disputes over the safety and efficacy of vaginal mesh looks set to continue for quite some time, especially given the recent guideline reviews in the UK that have faced heavy criticism.
At the centre of all these issues remains the patients; some of whom have been left with severe and permanent complications. If side-effects of mesh have been hidden, the consequences must be severe.
The symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can be wide-ranging and can leave patients with complications for a long time, and in some cases, indefinitely.
In many cases, it’s only possible to remove part of the ineffective mesh device, and in other cases, it cannot be removed at all. However, even when it can be removed, women can be left with severe complications from nerve damage and scarring caused by the mesh.
It’s therefore important to recognise the symptoms associated with vaginal mesh problems, and it’s also important to know your legal rights.
Vaginal mesh aftercare, especially when things go wrong, has faced significant criticism around the world, including here in the UK.
Last year, a widespread pause for the use of transvaginal mesh and tape for things like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was put in place. In April this year, revised guidelines were issued by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which have also faced stern criticism.
When it comes what you can do about the injustices of poor aftercare, you should know that you have rights. And we’re here to help you.
The long-term effects of pelvic mesh remain a considerable concern, and this year’s changes to the guidelines surrounding the use of mesh implants has not been too helpful.
The pelvic mesh saga has been going on for over a decade now, and thousands of women have suffered problems and compilations. This has led to compensation claims being made around the world, including the clients we represent for cases here in the UK. Despite the problems many women have suffered from, mesh is still used for surgery, and people are still being harmed.
With this in mind, the long-term impact of transvaginal mesh devices continues to be a worry,. The issue as to whether the plight of suffering women is being ignored remains at the heart of why this procedure continues to be controversial.
TVT mesh pain symptoms can be severe, lifelong, and can change a victim’s life forever. That’s why the work that we do is important; victims deserve access to justice.
Vaginal mesh complications can be truly horrendous. We can tell you this from experience with our own clients, but it’s also not hard to find the many horror stories online as well.
We were surprised by the outcome of the NICE review that was published last month. The criticism about the perceived lack of long-term knowledge is justified in our view. There’s plenty of horror stories where women have been left with severe pain for decades. There’s great deal more evidence out there then they reported.
