Surgical complications that arise from vaginal mesh can leave some patients suffering for the rest of their lives, so it is important that justice is achieved if this happens.
This is why victims of negligence in a pelvic mesh case can be entitled to pursue compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. We can also look to recover damages for any losses and expenses, both in the short-term and in the long-term.

Surgical complications from pelvic mesh
It can be possible to suffer surgical complications from pelvic mesh procedures, whether this is from the implantation surgery or from a procedure to remove mesh. Sometimes, surgical complications can arise as a result of a lack of care and skill on the part of the treating clinicians, and other times they may arise because the mesh was simply unsuitable for your situation.
They can also arise because pelvic mesh itself has long been a controversial procedure in respect of its safety and efficacy. Thousands of women worldwide have suffered serious problems and complications, many of whom have been left with lifelong injuries that cannot be resolved.
It is important that we address such problems and complications because of the potentially long-term or permanent impact that can occur. Given the nature of the sensitive area in which the injury and suffering will take place, the impact really can be substantial on the victim. It could affect a patient in all manner of their life, and it can even lead to some people being unable to walk or work ever again.
What can you do about problems and suffering?
If you have suffered surgical complications from vaginal mesh that arose because something went wrong with your course of treatment, you could be eligible to claim compensation. If it is the case that you have suffered as a result of negligence, that is when you could be entitled to pursue a legal case and when we may be able to represent you for a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We often say that we cannot turn back the clock and undo what has happened to you. Whilst we wish we could, this is simply not feasible. As such, the legal route to claim compensation is at least some form of access to justice for what you have been through, and there is a lot that we can consider for you. It is not just about pursuing damages to reflect any pain, suffering and loss of amenity, but it can also account for losses and expenses claims which can be the more important part of a case. If you can no longer work ever again then we may need to recover special damages that can cover your wages until retirement, including any pension payments. If private treatment and surgery could benefit you then we could look to try to include these costs as part of a case either before it is settled or once the claim has completed.
Claims are pursued based on their own individual merits and factors, so there are no guarantees in respect of what we can or cannot do. The above are things that we can possibly look at as part of a case because we want to make sure we can do all we can for you to help you both in the short-term and in the long-term.
