Women damaged by surgical mesh furious at NHS report

Women damaged by surgical mesh furious at NHS report Women damaged by surgical mesh used to treat post-childbirth incontinence have reacted with fury to a Government report investigating the problem.

At least 7,800 women say they’ve suffered lacerations and nerve damage because the mesh has broken into tiny fragments.

The report, which is unpublished but has been seen by Good Health, is the result of a three-year investigation by NHS England. It confirms that many more women have complained of injuries than previously suggested and calls for a helpline to support victims. The Daily Mail
