More than 100 women who experienced pain and complications from transvaginal mesh implants have received undisclosed payouts from manufacturers, marking the first successful group claim in England.
Lisa Lunt, a partner at Pogust Goodhead, emphasized that many women suffered chronic pain for years, with strict 10-year time limits preventing others from claiming compensation.
Kath Sansom from Sling the Mesh described the successful group action as 'groundbreaking,' but highlighted that it would only benefit a small portion of the estimated 40,000 affected women.
Pelvic mesh, once hailed as a gold standard treatment, has caused serious complications for many women, affecting their mobility, relationships, and overall quality of life.
