Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion

Ms Terri Martin:

Options in the South seem to be directed only to partial removals. During the week, I read in the newspaper, as I am sure members did, that seven full removals have been done in the South. When we have asked for statistics about success rates, complication rates or how many procedures have been done, we have never been given statistics. I believe that only partial removals are conducted at the moment.
