Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective of the study was to reveal the way we treat vaginal mesh complications in a trained referral center.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of all patients who underwent surgical removal of transvaginal mesh for mesh-related complications during a 5-year period.
Results: Eighty-three patients underwent 104 operations including 61 complete mesh removal, 14 partial excision, 15 section of sub-urethral sling, and five laparoscopies. Main indications were erosion, infection, granuloma, incomplete voiding, and pain. Fifty-eight removals occurred more than 2 years after the primary mesh placement. Mean operation time was 21 min, and there were two intraoperative and ten minor postoperative complications. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) recurred in 38% and cystocele in 19% of patients.
Conclusions: In a trained center, mesh removal was found to be a quick and safe procedure. Mesh-related complications may frequently occur more than 2 years after the primary operation. Recurrence was mostly associated with SUI and less with genital prolapse.

Coastal sediments are a key contributor to oceanic phosphorus (P) removal, impacting P bioavailability and primary productivity. Vivianite, an Fe(II)-phosphate mineral, can be a major P sink in nonsulfidic, reducing coastal sediments. Despite its importance, vivianite formation processes in sediments remain poorly understood.

Background: The use of mesh in the repair of large hiatal hernias is still controversial. One of the most feared adverse events related to the use of mesh is erosion into the esophageal and gastric walls.
Aims: To record the endoscopic treatment of mesh that has migrated into the gastric lumen after surgical treatment of hiatal hernia.

Importance: Forty percent of patients with urogynecologic mesh pain complications are taking narcotics.
Objectives: We aimed to compare comorbidities and pain scores between patients with and without narcotic use and assess postoperative narcotic use rates.
Study Design: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing urogynecologic mesh removal.

Robotic cholecystectomy (RC) using the da Vinci surgical system has been introduced as a potential alternative to the gold standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for gallbladder removal. This systematic review aims to evaluate and compare the postoperative outcomes (operative time, bile leak, and postoperative complications) and cost-effectiveness between da Vinci RC and LC. A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and PubMed, used Medical Subject Headings terms and Boolean operators to identify relevant studies.
