| Abstract |
Sheds light on the experiences of seven women who have suffered pelvic surgical mesh complications as a result of surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Emphasises the existential impacts arising from disruption to the embodied self as experienced by the study participants. Discusses problems with biomedical research on pelvic surgical mesh, highlighting two key clinical studies, and a NZ study. Employs hermeneutic phenomenology and a questionnaire to survey the participants. |
