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.
Vaginal mesh removal problems are life-altering
Vaginal mesh removal can be life-altering and even life-threatening. In some case, it’s simply impossible to remove the device once it has been inserted, meaning women can be left with permanent problems.
Sometimes it comes down to removal of as much of the mesh device as possible, which can still leave women with irreversible damage.
The difficulties with vaginal mesh removal is really at the heart of the many vaginal mesh complications there are, because it can leave a victim without the chance of a good prognosis for recovery. Only this year did the NHS finally put a widespread halt on the use of the mesh devices following a more in-depth review which concluded what we already have known for years.
Claiming compensation vaginal mesh removal problems
You can claim compensation for vaginal mesh removal surgery, and compensation where vaginal mesh removal is impossible.
Damages can be awarded for any pain and suffering sustained as a result of the vaginal mesh removal procedure and any scarring and subsequent pain a victim is left with. When it comes to cases where mesh removal is impossible, compensation amounts can be significant where a victim is left with lifelong problems.
How do we compensate a victim where vaginal mesh removal is impossible?
The question over how a victim can be compensated when vaginal mesh removal is impossible is an important one. Compensation is designed to allow for any suffering and loss to be compensated with a financial settlement, but what about someone whose problems will never be resolved?
We can’t take back what has happened. All we can do is as much as we can to support you. A victim can be entitled to a very substantial compensation pay-out where the damage is irreversible. There’s a lot to it, and our firm specialises (unlike some others) in what we call catastrophic compensation claims, where victims are left with permanent problems.
Each case is different, but victims can be eligible to recover compensation for permanent lost earnings, permanent care and assistance, permanent pain management, permanent treatment, and a number of other things.
