The problem with long-term pelvic mesh complications

The issue with long-term pelvic mesh complications is that they can be permanent and severe, and there’s still too little evidence being properly assessed in many people’s view.

When the revised NICE guidelines were published last year that allowed the continuation of this controversial procedure, there was a suggestion that there was an absence of long-term knowledge. However, this has been strongly challenged on the basis that there are thousands of women worldwide who have been suffering serious mesh implant complications for years, yet their voices appear to not be heard.

We act for women who are suffering from irreversible damage from a vaginal mesh procedure. Although we can make sure that women are entitled to justice with a claim for personal injury compensation, we believe far more needs to be done to address the underlying problems.

Are manufactures hiding surgical mesh problems?

There are some who believe that certain manufacturers have been hiding surgical mesh problems since the day they launched their products in the market.

Many manufacturers continue to deny that there’s anything wrong with the products they produce and sell, and some have passed the responsibility for problems on to alleged poor surgical technique. The longstanding debates and disputes over the safety and efficacy of vaginal mesh looks set to continue for quite some time, especially given the recent guideline reviews in the UK that have faced heavy criticism.

At the centre of all these issues remains the patients; some of whom have been left with severe and permanent complications. If side-effects of mesh have been hidden, the consequences must be severe.

Vaginal mesh aftercare criticised worldwide

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.

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.
