Surgical mesh victim, Jordene Kyne, finds herself in a never ending battle to repair damage caused to her by surgical mesh. SUPPLIED ACC says it will review declined surgical mesh complication claims following a report on stories from over 600 mesh injured. Since 2005 ACC has accepted 1110 claims for surgical mesh complications and declined 357. ACC was working with advocacy group Mesh Down Under on a way to "look back through declined surgical mesh claims", Powell said. She said the government had restricted surgical mesh for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, and brought in a DHB-led registry for some mesh procedures.
