The consultant who carried out Kerry’s operation is Derek Klazinga, who retired in 2016.

Kerry is one of several women who say they were not adequately informed of the risks involved before operations took place under his care.

BBC Wales contacted Derek Klazinga to ask about the way he obtained Kerry’s consent for the operation, and whether he explained to her that other treatments were possible, but he did not respond.

In a statement to S4C’s Y Byd Ar Bedwar, he said previously: “I wish to express my sincerest sympathy that these ladies have had to endure such physical and psychological pain caused by, what we now know to be, defective medical products used in their treatments.

“Before retiring in 2016, I always practised with the patient at the centre of my care, while abiding by the first principle of medicine: ‘first, do no harm’.”
