Abstract

This is a paper that makes a case for the Food and Drug Administration warning. Polypropylene mesh sling has no erosion/exposure, with a high success rate for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Minimum 1.5-Year Results of “Surgeon-Tailored” Transvaginal Mesh Repair for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrologyVol. 80Issue 2PreviewTo evaluate our minimum 1.5-year results with “surgeon-tailored” polypropylene mesh (STPM) in stress urinary incontinence treatment and the impact of concomitant pelvic organ prolapse repair on functional outcomes. Full-Text PDF ReplyUrologyVol. 80Issue 2PreviewThe last several years have seen widespread use of mesh surgery, especially for prolapse management without sufficient long-term safety and efficacy data. Some surgeons have developed “homemade” modifications in an effort to reduce the cost of mesh-kits while maintaining the high anatomic success achieved with mesh-enforced repairs. In this respect, our report has made a valuable contribution to the scarce literature data regarding the long-term outcomes of this approach for the management of stress incontinence and prolapse.
