Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

We describe complications associated with the use of transvaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.

Methods

We retrospectively identified patients referred to our institution from January 2003 through September 2007 who had complications after vaginal placement of mesh.

Results

We identified 21 patients with a mean (SD) age of 61 (11) years. Types of mesh used included mesh kits (n = 9, 43%), nontrocar mesh augmentation (n = 5, 24%), IVS Tunneller (n = 4, 19%), and unspecified (n = 3, 14%). Eleven patients (52%) underwent more than one procedure before referral. Only three patients were referred by the original treating surgeon. Complications included mesh erosions in 12 women, dyspareunia in ten, and recurrent prolapse in nine. Sixteen patients (76%) were managed surgically. Follow-up survey among sexually active patients showed 50% with persistent dyspareunia.

Conclusions

Use of vaginal mesh for pelvic reconstruction can produce complications. Multiple interventions may be necessary, and bothersome symptoms may persist.

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
