Initial Experience with Concomitant Prolift™ System and Tension-Free Vaginal Tape Procedures in Patients with Stress Urinary Incontinence and Cystocele

Abstract: Purpose: The objective of this study is to report our initial experience about the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transobturator tension-free vaginal mesh (Prolift TM ) and concomitant tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) as a treatment of female anterior vaginal wall prolapse associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Materials and Methods:We reviewed the charts of patients who underwent Prolift TM and TVT between April 2009 and March 2010. All patients had a physical examination and staging of … Show more

[12] Four-arms mesh is designed to fix the mesh at four points to the pelvic side wall by passing the needle through four anatomic routes which is relatively easier and safer. [8] Double transobturator four arms polypropylene mesh was introduced for the management of SUI beside anterior compartment repair.…”
