It’s a known fact that vaginal mesh removal surgery is incredibly difficult to achieve. It can be hard – or in some cases, impossible – to remove. But could new surgical techniques improve the prospects of success?
It’s understood that a pioneering new method of surgery is being trialled in New Zealand that uses robotic arms that are controlled by a surgeon. This new method is thought to be potentially better for surgeons to be able to remove dangerous mesh from inside a patient with greater success and with reduced chances of damage to surrounding tissue.
For the many women who have suffered horrendous virginal mesh complications who have been unable to undergo successful surgery for removal, this new method may bring greater hope.
Pelvic mesh removal problems can be serious, and with the issue of complete removal impossible in some cases, victims need to know their rights for justice.
We pursue claims for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered as a result of their transvaginal mesh surgery causing problems. We’re representing a number of women for legal cases, and the issue of removal problems can be factored into a claim.
There are a few things that we can do as part of the case to assist, and you can be eligible to claim damages where removal has been a problem as well.
Vaginal mesh aftercare, especially when things go wrong, has faced significant criticism around the world, including here in the UK.
Last year, a widespread pause for the use of transvaginal mesh and tape for things like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was put in place. In April this year, revised guidelines were issued by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which have also faced stern criticism.
When it comes what you can do about the injustices of poor aftercare, you should know that you have rights. And we’re here to help you.
One of the biggest problems is that TVT mesh removal is hard for surgeons in the UK, and indeed across the world.
We represent clients who are suffering horrendous complications because their TVT mesh implant has failed. In some cases, symptoms haven’t improved, and it’s a known issue that some women can be left with permanent problems because it can be difficult for surgeons to remove.
We can’t turn back the clock. All we can do is ensure you are able to access the best treatment possible and ensure that you receive justice through a claim for compensation.
Vaginal mesh removal problems are a huge concern, and it’s a factor that ought to have been considered more seriously by regulators and the healthcare industry.
In some cases, removal of the device can be completely impossible, and can leave the victim in permanent pain and with irreversible damage for the rest of their life. This can include women being left unable to work, or even unable to walk; for the rest of their lives.
The fact that mesh implants have still been used so widely despite the known vaginal mesh removal problems is, in our view, a factor that should have been considered more.
