The field of urogynaecology represents an interdisciplinary subspecialty which is dedicated to qualified diagnostics and effective treatment of functional, static, endocrine and urological pelvic floor disorders. Core areas of the surgical uro-gynaecology are pelvic floor reconstruction for the treatment of urinary and anal incontinence, descensus and prolapse including proctological surgery. Also included are the therapy and correction after trauma of the pelvic floor, as well as reconstruction after oncological interventions. In urogynaecological pelvic floor reconstruction, supporting tapes and mesh implants are usually implanted tension-free. The principle of the tension-free tape and mesh graft implantation is based on the induction of collagen regeneration as well as the development of scar tissue creating a tight, statically effective tissue within the pelvic floor. Surgical goal is the improvement of quality of life and the restitution of an appropriate coenaesthesia with preservation of a regular micturition and continence. Another important aspect is the restitution of a regular sexuality. Conservative urogynaecology represents the medicinal, physiotherapeutic or neuromodulatory treatment of mainly descensus disorders and urinary and anal incontinence. Other foci are urinary infections, chronic pelvic pain as well as postoperative and posttraumatic insufficiency of the pelvic floor.

ABSTR AC TIntroduction Pelvic organ prolapse can significantly reduce quality of life of affected women, with many cases requiring corrective surgery. The rate of recurrence is relatively high after conventional prolapse surgery. In recent years, alloplastic meshes have increasingly been implanted to stabilize the pelvic floor, which has led to considerable improvement of anatomical results. But the potential for mesh-induced risks has led to a controversial discussion on the use of surgical meshes in urogynecology. The impact of cystocele correction and implantation of an alloplastic mesh on patientsʼ quality of life/sexuality and the long-term stability of this approach were investigated. MethodIn a large prospective multicenter study, 289 patients with symptomatic cystocele underwent surgery with implantation of a titanized polypropylene mesh (TiLOOP ® Total 6, pfm medical ag) and followed up for 36 months. Both primary procedures and procedures for recurrence were included in the study. Anatomical outcomes were quantified using the POP-Q system. Quality of life including sexuality were assessed using the German version of the validated P-QoL questionnaire. All adverse events were assessed by an independent clinical event committee.Results Mean patient age was 67 ± 8 years. Quality of life improved significantly over the course of the study in all investigated areas, including sexuality and personal relationships (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test). The number of adverse events which occurred in the period between 12 and 36 months after surgery was low, with just 22 events reported. The recurrence rate for the anterior compartment was 4.5 %. Previous or concomitant hysterectomy increased the risk of recurrence in the posterior compartment 2.8-fold and increased the risk of erosion 2.25-fold.Conclusion Cystocele correction using a 2nd generation alloplastic mesh achieved good anatomical and functional results in cases requiring stabilization of the pelvic floor and in patients with recurrence. The rate of recurrence was low, the patientsʼ quality of life improved significantly, and the risks were acceptable. . The most serious effect of pelvic organ prolapse is impairment of bladder and bowel function accompanied by incontinence and voiding disorders [2,3]. General well-being, personal relationships, particularly sexuality [4], and physical and social activities often suffer from the effects of prolapse [5,6]. The incidence of pelvic organ prolapse in women has increased in parallel with the general increase in life expectancy, and the likelihood that women aged 80 years will require surgical intervention (e.g. hysterectomy, pelvic floor reconstruction) is 12.2 % [7]. One in nine women is affected by prolapse [8]. Up to 30 % of patients require a repeat operation for recurrence within 5 years of the original procedure [9][10][11][12]. Surgical correction of prolapse should not just reposition the prolapsed pelvic organs, it should also restore the patientʼs quality of life or at least improve it. As the recurrence rate...
