Long-term effects of pelvic mesh remain worrying

The long-term effects of pelvic mesh remain a considerable concern, and this year’s changes to the guidelines surrounding the use of mesh implants has not been too helpful.

The pelvic mesh saga has been going on for over a decade now, and thousands of women have suffered problems and compilations. This has led to compensation claims being made around the world, including the clients we represent for cases here in the UK. Despite the problems many women have suffered from, mesh is still used for surgery, and people are still being harmed.

With this in mind, the long-term impact of transvaginal mesh devices continues to be a worry,. The issue as to whether the plight of suffering women is being ignored remains at the heart of why this procedure continues to be controversial.

TVT surgery support still inadequate

Many people feel that TVT surgery support and aftercare remains inadequate, even after the conclusions of the recent review and the additional guidelines from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

The revised guidance has already face significant criticism on the basis that it doesn’t go far enough, and fails to address the long-term impact vaginal mesh devices can have.

Despite this being a worldwide issue that has been going on for over a decade, women undergoing TVT surgery in the last few years are still not receiving adequate support, it’s claimed. Although we can’t turn back the clock, we can make sure that clients who claim compensation with us are supported as best as we can.

Will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery?

Following last year’s pause on the use of the procedure, the big question on many people’s lips is this: will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery as other countries have?

One of the primary criticisms over the outcome of the recent changes into the use of vaginal mesh that followed last year’s ban was that it suggested there’s a lack of long-term knowledge. From the tens of thousands of women worldwide who have suffered complications, some of them permanent, there’s clearly a great deal of long-term knowledge out there.

But despite this, the UK has still yet to ban the use of vaginal mesh surgery procedures, and many are left wondering whether a permanent ban will ever take place.

It’s right to be worried about pelvic mesh safety

We think that people are right to be worried about pelvic mesh safety, especially as we’re lawyers who have seen first-hand just how bad the problems can be.

We’re acting for a number of women who are claiming mesh implant compensation. Some of the complications our client have suffered are serious. Some women can be left with lifelong problems that can leave them unable to walk or work ever again.

The recent revised guidelines have been criticised as not going far enough to ensure that women are protected when this procedure is an option on the table. The debate over pelvic mesh safety may well continue for quite some time.

Fact: TVT mesh removal is hard for surgeons in the UK

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.

Critics hit out at new vaginal mesh guidelines

Critics have hit out over the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been introduced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

The new guidelines are said to have taken into account the experiences of numerous women who have suffered serious complications caused by vaginal mesh implants. There’s also said to be an increased focus on the need for women to be better informed about the potential risks, some of which can leave women unable to work or walk ever again.

But many believe that the new guidelines don’t go far enough and certainly don’t appear to have truly mirrored the horrendous suffering many women have endured. As a law firm acting for women who have suffered form vaginal mesh surgery, we know how bad it can get.

Bard mesh recall and production ceased

This month, a Bard mesh recall has been initiated, and the company has decided to no longer produce and distribute their mesh devices.

The mesh products made by Bard – C.R. Bard (Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD)) – are for treating POP (pelvic organ prolapse) and SUI (stress urinary incontinence). The recall is voluntary, and the advice so far is that the devices don’t need to be removed. However, anyone who suffers with complications should seek advice immediately.

The recall has been launched with immediate effect, according to the company’s written publications.
