My TVT Mesh was implanted 2006, it malfunctioned while I was in hospital. Yet it took me nine years of asking for removal to eventually have partial removal. Nine years of horrendous incontinence, UTI’s, chronic pain, loss of power to my legs,leaving constant leg fatigue, coupled with severe leg cramps, chronic restless legs. The consultant that eventually agreed to operate for removal, had me in tears, blaming every other health issue I had presented with, and NOT the mesh. Operation cancelled four times. FINALLY....VALIDATED... The consultant after my operation,spoke in a conciliatory mode, explained my mesh had been TWISTED behind my pubic bone, it had HARDENED, and I had a KINK in my urethra, also INFLAMMATION on the side with the most SEVERE PAIN, Finally I was told there was two pieces left attached to my abdomen that was unable to remove. Can you imagine how I felt hearing this, NINE YEARS of malfunction. Due to my experience with this consultant, the aggressive tone and outright arrogance, demeaning and humiliating me, I was referred to a psychiatrist. Therefore I as a NHS PATIENT for almost 70 years, feel my experience merits me to a referral where I will be seen by a GIANT AMONG WOMEN, a LEGEND within our NHS, who OOZES COMPASSION and PROFESSIONALISM, every woman under her watch, has had care and treatment and the most difficult of mesh removal completed by Dr S.ElNeil. Full removal should be experienced by every mesh injured woman. Dr Ellneil is the only consultant within the UK who will remove ALL MESH. This is the only way you will get complete peace of mind, when ALL mesh is removed. Finally. I fear ALL surgeons should have a period of mentoring from Dr ElNeil, her approach, compassion, professionalism, EDUCATING the patient, has been the EXPERIENCE of every patient fortunate to be under her care. Please let this be the CLARION CRY of the NHS. Dr ElNeil should spearhead this patient care across the UK.
