Mesh
Claims

What are the common complications of having a Mesh inserted?

• mesh erosion;
• nerve damage;
• infection, including urinary tract infections (UTIs);
• hematomas;
• severe groin pain;
• dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse);
• autoimmune problems;
• recurrent prolapse;
• organ perforation.

A summary of the NICE (National Institute for health and Care Excellence) Guidelines on the use of vaginal mesh recommends clinicians who continue to treat POP with vaginal mesh should ensure that the patient clearly understands the long-term effects and any risks and complications. They are also to inform their Trust when carrying out such procedure.

At NewLaw we understand that not all patients will suffer after having mesh surgery. However, we do not agree that anyone should have to go through such a traumatic experience, which can be life changing for the patient. Sometimes it can take years for the side effects to occur after having mesh surgery.
