Background: Midurethral slings are the gold standard for treating stress urinary incontinence, but their complications may raise concerns. Complications may differ by the approach used to place them.

Objective: This study aimed to compare serious complications and reoperations for recurrence after midurethral sling procedures when using the retropubic vs the transobturator route for female stress urinary incontinence.

Article Synopsis
  • Women's preoperative hopes and fears about cystocele repair often differ from those of their surgeons, highlighting a gap in understanding.
  • A study analyzed responses from 265 women, revealing prevalent hopes related to prolapse repair (60%) and fears of prolapse relapse (38%).
  • Surgeons' expectations aligned closely with women's, but only 60% of women reported prolapse repair as a key expectation, suggesting the need for enhanced communication between patients and surgeons regarding individual concerns and goals.

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to assess the frequency of late postoperative complications, surgical revisions and anatomical and functional outcomes > 1year after the insertion of an ultra-light vaginal mesh for the treatment of genital prolapse.

Material And Methods: In our multicenter retrospective series, patients who had a previous ultra-light transobturator mesh (19g/m2) Restorelle®DirectFix™ mesh placed, either reviewed in post-operative consultation or interviewed by phone with a minimum of twelve months' follow-up were included.

Results: 172 patients were included in the analysis.

Background: Vaginal mesh safety information is limited, especially concerning single incision techniques using ultra lightweight meshes for the treatment of anterior pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Objective: To determine the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates after anterior POP repair involving an ultralight mesh (19g/m): Restorelle Direct Fix™.

Methods: A case series of 218 consecutive patients, operated on between January 2013 and December 2016 in ten tertiary and secondary care centres, was retrospectively analyzed.

Herein we report the case of a 68-year-old woman who had rectal bleeding 13 days after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Clinical examination and rectoscopy revealed rectal exposure of the posterior polyester mesh placed during the surgery. Endorectal surgery was performed to remove the exposed mesh and repair the rectal erosion.
