Compensation for organ damage from a vaginal mesh implant
You can be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation if you’ve suffered organ damage from a vaginal mesh device that has gone wrong.
One of the most common ways in which the organ damage can take place is actually during surgery. If the implant has failed and needs to be removed, the procedure can be incredibly tricky and extremely complicated. Most invasive surgery comes with risks, but where lengthy procedures take place as a result of how complex the surgery is, there can be greater risks of damage to nearby tissue and organs.
In one of the American trials, a surgeon that specialises in the removal of pelvic mesh devices reportedly said that he had to teach himself how to do it. He also reportedly said that some manufacturers made false representations about the safety of the devices as well.
What do you claim for?
When it comes to claiming compensation for organ damage from a vaginal mesh implant, we need to effectively look at two key things:
- Has there been some form of negligence that has taken place; and
- Has the negligence led to the organ damage in question?
Taking one of the most common examples, when we look at organ damage that occurs when surgeons try to remove the device, it’s all about the chain of events. Ultimately, had the device not failed in the fist place, you would not have required the further procedure to try and remove it. If the organ damage arises because of that second operation that ought to have never happened, we have the potential chain to link the injury to the negligence.
There may also be cases where the mesh implant has moved, and this could also lead to organ damages as well. Ultimately, if the organ damage would not have occurred where it not for the vaginal mesh device failing, you may have a valid legal case.
