| Popis: | Synthetic mesh augmentations for pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries are increasing in usage and popularity. Many studies are focusing on the anatomical success rates of transvaginal anterior compartment repairs with synthetic mesh, with minimal attention on its postoperative complications. We present a case report on a 59-year-old postmenopausal woman who underwent an anterior repair with 6×4-cm polypropylene mesh. Postoperatively, she developed severe dyspareunia and debilitating chronic pelvic pain. The patient failed conservative medical therapy and now requests complete removal of the synthetic mesh. |
