Mesh removal nightmare: what can you do?

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.

Is vaginal mesh removal surgery set to get easier?

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.

Symptoms of pelvic mesh problems

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.

Pelvic mesh removal problems and what to do

Pelvic mesh removal problems can be serious, and with the issue of complete removal impossible in some cases, victims need to know their rights for justice.

We pursue claims for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered as a result of their transvaginal mesh surgery causing problems. We’re representing a number of women for legal cases, and the issue of removal problems can be factored into a claim.

There are a few things that we can do as part of the case to assist, and you can be eligible to claim damages where removal has been a problem as well.

Vaginal mesh aftercare criticised worldwide

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.

TVT surgery support still inadequate

Many people feel that TVT surgery support and aftercare remains inadequate, even after the conclusions of the recent review and the additional guidelines from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

The revised guidance has already face significant criticism on the basis that it doesn’t go far enough, and fails to address the long-term impact vaginal mesh devices can have.

Despite this being a worldwide issue that has been going on for over a decade, women undergoing TVT surgery in the last few years are still not receiving adequate support, it’s claimed.
