Women call for a ban on TVT mesh operation that can cause painful and disabling complications

The video discusses the chronic pain experienced by women like Kath after undergoing the TVT procedure, a surgery intended to treat stress incontinence. The procedure involves inserting a synthetic mesh, which has led to severe complications for some women. Dr. L Neal, a surgeon qualified to remove the mesh, highlights the lack of prior research and calls for informed consent. The use of TVT mesh has been suspended in Scotland, with growing political pressure for a UK-wide ban. Despite concerns, officials claim the procedure is safe for most, though no definitive records exist on adverse effects.
