Anterior Colporrhaphy versus Transvaginal Mesh for Pelvic-Organ Prolapse

Transvaginal mesh procedures for pelvic organ prolapse.

OBJECTIVE To provide an update on transvaginal mesh procedures, newly available minimally invasive surgical techniques for pelvic floor repair. OPTIONS The discussion is limited to minimally invasive transvaginal mesh procedures. EVIDENCE PubMed and Medline were searched for articles published in English, using the key words "pelvic organ prolapse," transvaginal mesh," and "minimally invasi...

Predictors of Outcome after Transvaginal Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Introduction: We aim to report outcomes and predictors of outcome of transvaginal mesh (TVM) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We also report frequency, severity, risk factors, and management of mesh-related complications after TVM. Materials and Methods: We performed retrospective chart review of TVM performed from 2005 to 2010. There were 67 patients followed for a mean duration of eighteen mo...

Clinical Evaluation of Transvaginal Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery

Novel hybrid mesh surgery combines sacrocolpopexy with transvaginal mesh placement for pelvic organ prolapse.

Mesh surgeries, such as sacrocolpopexy and transvaginal mesh surgery, are commonly used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. Although mesh surgeries have a high success rate, they are unsuitable for some patients. For a patient with pelvic organ prolapse and highly calcified multiple fibroids, we performed hybrid sacrocolpopexy combined with transvaginal mesh surgery with a method modified for the p...

Anterior colporrhaphy compared with collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.
