The expert medical negligence team at Patient Claim Line is supporting patients who have experienced severe pain and discomfort due to negligent treatment involving vaginal mesh implants.
Vaginal mesh implants are commonly used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, and they have been a surgical tool for many years. However, in some cases, these implants have been inserted incorrectly or used inappropriately, causing permanent damage.
Some of the complications linked to the negligent use of vaginal mesh include urinary retention, bladder infections, pain during intercourse, bleeding, and incontinence, among others. The impact of these symptoms on women’s lives can be devastating.
In 2022, an independent review led to the decision to pause the use of vaginal mesh implants. However, it is estimated that over 100,000 women in the UK have already had these devices implanted.
At Patient Claim Line, our medical negligence team has represented numerous patients who have reported life-changing injuries after undergoing procedures that involved mesh implants. We have successfully settled claims against both NHS Trusts and private surgeons, securing financial compensation and formal apologies on behalf of our clients.
What our Lead Solicitor on Vaginal Mesh Cases has said
Christian Beadell, Head of Group Actions at Patient Claim Line, has represented dozens of patients who suffered urogynaecological complications due to vaginal mesh implants. He said:
“Mesh-related claims are complex and rarely straightforward, which is why it’s so important to work with a lawyer who has experience in handling these matters. Our team draws on years of expertise in this area to guide clients through the claims process and recover the compensation they deserve. We are always stronger when we fight together as a group.”
You can also feel reassured knowing that our medical negligence team consists of leading lawyers in this field. We have successfully fought many similar cases, and our team is ranked among the top lawyers for clinical negligence.
