Pelvic mesh erosion is one of the many problems and complications that some women can suffer from when their vaginal mesh or sling goes wrong.
Both the mesh and the surrounding tissue can be subject to erosion, and in either case, the harm to the patient can be severe. Because the vaginal mesh is designed to be permanent, any kind of movement or failure of the device can be difficult to resolve. If mesh needs removing, there can be cases where it’s simply impossible to remove – or fully remove – the device.
This is why claims for personal injury compensation when things go wrong with pelvic mesh are so important. Women’s lives can literally be turned upside down forever, and we must do all we can to help.
