Mum kills herself after doctor removes ovaries ‘that were in the way’
Lucinda Methuen-Campbell killed herself after being left in agony following a bowel operation
Mr Dixon performed the operation in 2016 with the mesh but it was unsuccessful and caused her to be in agony
The surgeon later told her that her ovaries were taken out “because they were in the way”.
Mr Dixon has built up an international reputation for using mesh to fix bowel problems – but is currently suspended from two hospitals in Bristol.
He is under investigation by the NHS which referred him to the General Medical Council over the mesh procedures.
Mrs Methuen-Campbell was found hanged in her attic after telling her ex-partner sculptor Philip Chatfield: “There didn’t seem to be away out of the pain.”
He said: “The pain continued to get worse and nobody seemed able to solve the problem.
