PE1865/OOO - Suspend all surgical mesh and fixation devices
A family member had a mesh procedure done and it has ruined their life, robbed them of their independence, left them in constant pain, and not believed by healthcare professionals, which has greatly negatively impacted their mental health. As family, I am also impacted; it is heart-breaking to see those you love go through something for which there seems to be nothing that you or anyone can do, and to watch them be continually failed by the health service designed to do no harm.
It is only through the hard work of groups like Scottish Mesh Survivors that we have to come understand the common devastating impact that this procedure can have on those who undergo it. People left disabled and in chronic terrible pain should not have to muster up the energy to fight this fight. Please support them by passing this petition.
I would implore the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to suspend the use of this surgical mesh in all surgical procedures until reviews are carried out and appropriate guidelines are established.
