Pelvic mesh complications: mesh erosion

One of the major vaginal mesh complications that can arise in patients that have undergone this controversial form of treatment is mesh erosion. This can lead to the mesh literally eroding away, whether by itself, or where an attempt to remove the mesh has been unsuccessful.

On the matter of virginal mesh removal, the device is intended to be permanent. As such, it is not designed to be removed. This means that, in the event that it fails and causes painful and problematic complications for patients, removal can be impossible in some cases. Where removal is attempted, it may not work, and it could leave women in an even worse position than they were in before. And this is considerable, as some women can be left with incredibly painful complications, some of which can prevent them from leading their everyday lives and can completely impact the patient’s ability to work.

What can you do about mesh erosion?

In some cases, there may be little or nothing that can be done to stop or allay the painful complications that come with pelvic mesh erosion. This can especially be the case if any form of removal or revision surgery has not been successful.

Sadly, we cannot turn back time. All we can do as expert injury lawyers is offer our support by way of a pelvic mesh compensation claim.

We know that no amount of money may ever make up for the horrendous and sometimes lifelong complications that can be caused by mesh erosion. What a legal case for compensation can do is allow for you to receive some form of justice for what you have had to go through in the form of General Damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. We may also be able to claim Special Damages which can include lost earnings from time off work, which may help if you have been off for a long time, or if you can no longer work at all.

A claim could also cover private treatment and surgery if this will help. As part of a legal case, we will normally instruct an expert to produce a report for us that is used to value the case, and they will usually be able to give recommendations for treatment and help as well. If we can obtain this on a private basis and it will help you, including the costs of such things in a claim can be more than achievable.
