The delays are an insult to these women - the harm was catastrophic at so many levels - blind insertion techniques, no post operative scans to check for misplacement - these PO checks are done with PICC lines - why was this procedure performed so gung-ho? I am aware of injuries where the mesh was tangled around ureters, what was it doing there? The mesh has fused to the bladder wall, to the pubic bone, to the sacrum, veered through the cauda equine and obturator muscles and nerves which will disable the legs, I could go on and on….. The MHRA nor the doctors were given guidelines on removal - no one was trained to do this complex pelvic reconstruction when the mesh had glued itself to soft internal structures, organs , nerves , blood vessels and bones - its time the true horrors were properly discussed. And Its time for a public inquiry
