Popis: Since the introduction of vaginal mesh kits in 2002, there has been a significant increase in the number of pelvic reconstructive surgeries involving vaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse. This trend continued until around 2008, when the first public health notice was published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding complications and adverse events associated with the use of synthetic mesh in prolapse and stress urinary incontinence surgery. In order to fully understand the risks and benefits associated with transvaginal mesh implantation for pelvic organ prolapse, understanding not only the properties of synthetic mesh material but also the body’s response to its implantation is critical. One must also have a broad depth of knowledge regarding the clinical data that exists regarding transvaginal mesh placement.
