Ventral Mesh Rectopexy Claim
If you are considering whether you have a Ventral Mesh Rectopexy Claim then feel free to get in touch. We assess your claim and advise you on the best way to find out what happened and why.
Ventral mesh rectopexy is used to treat external rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception). In addition, conditions such as rectocele, obstructed defecation syndrome, or solitary rectal ulcer syndrome were treated with VMR.
Patients are also left in severe pain after pelvic floor surgery because of using the artificial mesh. Surgery to rectify the complications is invasive and complex. Above all, life long injury is common.
Claim
Many claims are based on a failure to offer alternative conservative treatments or other surgeries. The Ventral Mesh Rectopexy should not have been used.
Potential surgical complications include mesh infection/erosion and mesh migration/detachment. The mesh can erode into the bowel or into the vagina.
The National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) stated in 2018 that the evidence on efficacy and safety was limited. They therefore recommended that the procedure should only be used with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent and audit or research. They want to ensure that patients understand the uncertainty about the procedure’s efficacy and safety and that there are different types of mesh available, which may have different efficacies and complications.
In conclusion, if you were not given these options then you may have a ventral mesh rectopexy claim.
