The specialist mesh services currently in operation do not offer rectopexy mesh removal. NHS England’s specialised commissioning team is currently preparing the commissioning of rectopexy services within the specialist mesh services, with the aim of achieving this later this financial year. The information requested on which of the specialist mesh services will be offering rectopexy mesh removal within the next 12 months is not yet available.
