Women left in agony after controversial mesh surgery by a surgeon are furious after he told a court the scandal had affected ... his libido. Former patients of Tony Dixon say they were left "disabled" and physically and mentally damaged after undergoing ''unnecessary'' surgery with him.
Hundreds of them came to see him at two Bristol hospitals with bowel problems as he was pioneering a new type of surgery using mesh. Dixon is facing dozens of negligence claims but has now failed to stop reporting restrictions being applied to a legal case.
He is suing his former employer Southmead Hospital in an attempt to stop documents being released to ex patients solicitors, the BBC reports. But his attempt at the High Court to not be named in that case has failed.
