Contracting infections from vaginal mesh surgery
Contracting infections from vaginal mesh surgery is one of the commonly known potential side effects or complications if something goes wrong. Invasive surgery can often carry the risk of infections anyway, so it is not always unexpected for this to happen. However, if you contract infections from vaginal mesh procedures because something has gone wrong, that is when you could be eligible to claim compensation.
When you could be eligible to pursue a legal case
You might be able to claim compensation if you contracted infections from vaginal mesh surgery where some form of negligence was involved in the process of the procedure. This could be from an infection that has occurred after the surgery because something was done incorrectly, or if your aftercare plan has not followed the proper protocols. Aftercare is incredibly important to get right in this very complicated and invasive surgery, and medical practitioners should be wary of spotting the signs of infections and dealing with them straight away.
If you have suffered infections but these were not diagnosed quickly enough, and this resulted in you suffering for longer or suffering further complications, this could be considered as part of legal case. If an infection has been caused by damage to internal organs as a result of the mesh moving or the placement of it going wrong, or the prolonged failure of the device caused the issue, these are also considerations where you could be eligible to pursue a legal case.
What we need to do is establish that any infections from vaginal mesh surgery that you have suffered from were preventable or treatable at an earlier stage. As we said above, infections can be quite common after any form of invasive procedure, so there is an important need to differentiate between what could be a known and typical side-effects as opposed to what may have been caused because you have been let down.
If you have suffered or suffered for longer as a result of any form of negligence, you could be entitled to pursue compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity that has arisen.
