Following last year\u2019s widespread pause, the new vaginal mesh guidelines have been published. Understandably, concerns have been raised that they may not good enough.<\/p>\n

We can tell you from experience that the complications and suffering that women can endure when vaginal mesh surgery goes wrong can be horrendous. We\u2019re acting for women on a No Win, No Fee basis who are making claims for personal injury compensation<\/strong><\/a> because of problems they\u2019ve experienced. With some women left unable to work or walk ever again, the continued use of these devices must be heavily scrutinised.<\/p>\n

Concerns have been raised that the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been published haven\u2019t considered the experiences of the victims, and don\u2019t go far enough to protect women who may undergo the procedure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About the new vaginal mesh guidelines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new vaginal mesh guidelines, according to the authors, are said to have considered the horrendous experiences of women who have suffered problems over the years slings and tapes have been used. The new guidelines are also said to ensure that there\u2019s increased awareness about what can go wrong, which is vital when some women can be left with permanent problems.<\/p>\n

A promise of greater support is vital, but do the new guidelines go far enough?<\/p>\n

The guidelines are said to ensure that non-surgical options are fully explored before mesh is used, but how can women be expected to calculate the benefits vs the risks of having mesh fitted? When the risks of complications can turn your life upside down, how can patients feel assured?<\/p>\n

Critics hit out at new vaginal mesh guidelines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Critics have understandably hit out over the publication of the new vaginal mesh guidelines. The Chairman for the cross-party surgical mesh group, Owen Smith MP, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply disappointed that the updated guidelines appear to disregard mesh-injured women\u2019s experiences by stating that there is no long-term evidence of adverse effects. Thousands of women have faced life-changing injuries following mesh surgery and they must not be ignored.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Smith also suggested that the guidelines weren\u2019t clear enough about only using mesh surgery when other options have been explored.<\/p>\n

We understand the damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As we represent women who are making vaginal mesh compensation claims, we understand the extent of the suffering that some patients can endure. It can be impossible to remove surgically-implanted mesh in some cases. Where there are complications, some patients can be stuck with them for life.<\/p>\n

The new vaginal mesh guidelines may come as little comfort to the thousands of women who have suffered complications. We\u2019re still taking cases forward, but you must be very careful about missing important deadlines in cases like this. Take a look at our advice page here for more information<\/strong><\/a>, and please contact the team if you need help and advice (it\u2019s free and on a no-obligation basis).<\/p>\n
