Objectives

This article attempts to offer balanced insight into the use of transvaginal mesh for pelvic organ prolapse especially in the light of the negative publicity in recent times. The role of transvaginal mesh has been in the limelight for a number of reasons and it is important to address this issue in an objective, fair, and balanced manner. The conventional approach to prolapse surgery has undergone a paradigm shift and the principles of mesh replacement surgery sharply contrast with many traditionally held beliefs. This has created a new set of challenges that has revealed a sharp division of opinion among specialists and sub-specialists alike.

Conclusion

The article is an attempt to explain how mesh surgery can be safely and efficiently performed in carefully selected cases and is based on the combined wisdom of some of the leading surgeons in the sub-specialty today.
