You may have seen on the news and in the newspapers the plight of the thousands of women who have been fitted with the trans-vaginal mesh for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Although many thought there was a ban on the use of Trans-Vaginal Mesh in December 2017, the reality is that the mesh can still be used to treat stress urinary incontinence and to repair hernias in men or women, although the mesh repair for pelvic organ prolapse should now only be used for research purposes. ADVICE: Mesh Implant Claims: Negligence Now Thrust Into The Public Eye The mesh is made of polypropylene and is designed to be permanent. For years, women who had the mesh fitted had been complaining of abdominal/vaginal pain, neuropathic pain, difficulty in walking, bleeding and infections and pain on intercourse. Many have subsequently undergone further surgery, which has found problems arising from mesh erosion and nerve damage caused by the surgeon following the manufacturer’s instructions. The likelihood is that women were told that undergoing the procedure would cure or improve their stress urinary incontinence and that it was a procedure that would allow them to go home the same day. Even after undergoing the procedure, if a complaint of pain soon after, it is unlikely that the surgeon would have considered that the pain was due to the mesh. If you have been affected and are suffering from complications as a result of a previous mesh implant, then do not hesitate to contact your local solicitors at Tilly Bailey & Irvine, as we have dealt with personal injury and negligence claims successfully on a large scale since our roots began back in 1842.
