  • An operation to treat incontinence performed on tens of thousands of women across the UK could be hiding a scandal worse than Thalidomide, a leading expert has warned.
    Professor Carl Heneghan, who specialises in evidence-based medicine, said some of the devices used in vaginal mesh implants had not been clinically tested and, "unlike in the Thalidomide scandal, you are unable to see the extent of the women's injuries".
    Speaking about the scale of the scandal, he said: "I think this is the worst one that we'll ever see in my lifetime because of the scale of the number of women affected."

    I was offered this surgery last year. The doctor even told me about the lawsuit that's happening in Australia. He showed me a list of side effects from the mesh and then a list from the older style surgery where they use your own body faschia to form a sling instead of the mesh. I went for the old style operation. Sure it took longer to heal, but there was way less risk than the mesh.

      I'm aware of both tragedies. The title did bother me a bit. Though the real difference about the mesh is it's not as obvious as missing limbs. It's also a newer problem that they are trying to get awareness to prevent even more people suffering.
      Instead of trying to compare and judge who is suffering worse. I'd rather focus on how to prevent these tragedies and cure the victims.
