The Remeex re-adjustable sling provides a good cure rate for rSUI and ISD at long-term follow-up. The complications rate is acceptable since most complications are clavien II. The ability to re-adjust the sling tension during the follow-up allowed us to achieve cure for recurrence after the initial procedure, and to relieve obstruction in every case attempted.
Introduction: Our aim was to assess the efficacy and complications of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) correction with transvaginal mesh (TVM). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively assessed patients who had undergone a repair of an apical (primary or recurrent) or recurrent POP using TVM in our department since 2007. Meshes used were Prolift®, Elevate®, and Surelift®. Satisfaction with surgery was assessed on a 0–10 scale. Results: A total of 83 patients were included (33 Prolift®, 36 Elevate®, 14 Surelift®), with a mean age of 67.8 ± 9.7 years. Eighteen (21.6%) patients underwent a recurrent POP correction. Follow-up was 49 ± 34 months. Twelve (14.4%) symptomatic recurrences were identified, 3 of which required further surgery. Satisfaction was 8.7. Four (4.8%) vaginal exposures were detected, 2 of which required partial mesh removal. Three (3.6%) cases of dyspareunia and 1 (1.2%) case of mild pelvic pain were reported, which did not require further treatment. Conclusion: The use of TVM for apical or recurrent POP repair is effective and is associated with a high satisfaction rate while complications are infrequent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
