Abstract

Introduction and Background

Vaginal surgery for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence (USI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using a synthetic polypropylene mesh is going through a time of unprecedented turmoil and debate. This review focuses on vaginal surgery for vaginal prolapse and looks at the current scientific literature on issues surrounding surgery including consent and expectations.

Safety and Effectiveness of Surgical Options

Synthetic mesh has been used both abdominally and vaginally to improve the effectiveness of POP surgery. The relatively high incidence of mesh complications particularly with vaginal surgery has lead to repeat surgery, disappointment and litigation in some women. The benefits and risks of the various POP procedures are reviewed including native tissue repair, uterine conservation and obliterative vaginal surgery.

Conclusion

Women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and their doctors have many treatment options. The benefits and risks should be discussed as part of shared decision making.
