Surgical mesh group asks Jacinda Ardern to intervene in 'medical disaster'FAIRFAX AUSTRALIA Christina Lynn Brajcic, from Canada, died from complications following pelvic mesh surgery. An advocacy group wants Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to "finally step in and take charge" and employ an independent commissioner to review surgical mesh products. IAIN MCGREGOR/STUFF A recent ban of some surgical mesh products is failing to keep Kiwis safe from potential complications, Mesh Down Under say. Recent action to ban some mesh products had not improved safety for most patients, the group said. Updating product information with adverse events that were already well known would do nothing for patients, Korte said.
