The operation that ruined my life (BBC Panorama, 29 November 2022)

Summary

Women across the UK are suffering after an operation they were told would transform their lives. Instead, some of them say their lives have been ruined. For years women have been fitted with mesh-like devices to treat prolapse or incontinence - often caused by childbirth.

Although it's been a successful treatment for many of them, thousands of women in the US, the UK and Australia are now suing, after finding themselves in agony or suffering other serious complications.
