Abstract
Purpose of Review
To review mesh used for transvaginal surgeries, specifically slings and prolapse repairs, as well as offer a review of management after mesh-induced inflammation occurs.
Recent Findings
There have been changes to FDA notifications regarding vaginal mesh, with continued high-profile press. The inflammatory changes and possible complications vary with different mesh characteristics. Risk for complications due to transvaginal mesh placed for prolapse is higher than that when placed for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Summary
Transvaginal mesh aids in the effective treatment of female stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse but holds the possibility for complications. Placement of transvaginal mesh should continue in the hands of specially trained surgeons, who are knowledgeable regarding management of complications.
