Dr Veronikis the surgeon that my mum needs to remove her mesh
11 September 2016
I wanted to attach a document where Dr Veronikis explains about mesh and the removal of mesh but I am unable to upload the whole document. Below is an extract from a recent interview he gave and also his website address so if you are interested you can read how difficult it is to remove my mum's TOT mesh.

Extract: “The location of the mesh (vagina, abdomen, groins, and legs), in proximity to fragile nerves, bladder wall, rectal wall and major blood vessels, in addition to whether the mesh is exposed or eroded is always an element to consider in removing mesh. Another complex and difficult area of mesh removal is if the mesh is adhered to the bones. However, the more challenging side of mesh removal is locating the mesh that has been placed deep in the groin areas (TOT slings [1 arm in each groin] and Anterior Prolapse mesh kits [2 arms in each groin]), as it traverses from inside the vagina/pelvis to the outside of the pelvis and into the leg muscles.”
