Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can cause significant impairment in quality of life and lead many women to seek surgical correction. These procedures are often performed using polypropylene mesh. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Public Health Notification to inform patients of adverse events related to the use of mesh placed in these repairs. Since this time, there have been almost 50,000 legal proceedings related to complications of polypropylene mesh in the urogynecology setting. Currently, the FDA is conducting further studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of polypropylene mesh, but it is still available for use in the repair of SUI and POP. Thus, patients should be carefully selected and counseled appropriately regarding conservative management options and alternative surgical therapies prior to mesh placement. As a result of the FDA recommendations, researchers are currently trying to develop a treatment alternative to mesh.

“…Falling short of a bipartisan divide between mesh supporters and mesh sceptics in "meshology," and leaving aside for a moment the patients' internet networks [ 27 ] and our volatile medicolegal environment regarding mesh use, we should debate the question of whether the time has come to reconsider the concept of vaginally placed mesh in the management of prolapse. First, a better understanding of mesh performance in tissues may be needed before human implantation.…”
