Objective: To assess the incidence of recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following vaginal excision of exposed mid-urethral tape (MUT).
Study Design: This was a retrospective observational study in a tertiary urogynaecology unit of an inner city teaching hospital. The population consisted of 41 consecutive women seen with a vaginal mesh exposure following MUT insertion between 2000 and 2009, which failed to resolve with conservative measures. The primary outcome measure was the presence of symptoms of stress urinary incontinence following surgical excision of exposed mesh.
Results: The incidence of recurrent SUI following tape excision was 34.1%. Type of mid-urethral tape, menopausal status, and the time interval between tape insertion and excision were not found to be significantly associated with the risk of recurrent SUI.
Conclusions: Over a third of women experience recurrent SUI after surgical management of vaginal mesh exposure following MUT insertion. Risk factors may be more comprehensively studied using prospectively collected cohorts.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair Using Robotic-Assisted Sacral Hysterocolpopexy vs Vaginal Surgery with the Uphold™ System: 1-Year Clinical Outcomes.
Int Urogynecol J
January 2025
Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karolinska Institutet Danderyd Hospital, SE- 182 88, Stockholm, Sweden.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of the study was to compare clinical outcomes when using robotic-assisted sacral hysterocolpopexy (RASC) and vaginal surgery using the Uphold™ Vaginal Support System mesh for pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Methods: This was a nonrandomized, prospective, multicenter study in which 72 women underwent RASC, and 73 Uphold™ surgery, for apical prolapse (POP-Q C ≥ stage II). Anatomical outcomes were assessed using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system.
Minimally Invasive Total Versus Supracervical Hysterectomy With Sacrocolpopexy.
Urogynecology (Phila)

Article Synopsis
- The study compares total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) during minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for treating uterovaginal prolapse.
- Results showed no significant difference in overall recurrence of prolapse between the two methods, but TLH had lower odds of recurrence in multivariable analysis.
- TLH had a higher proportion of mesh exposures with lightweight mesh, but this finding wasn't significant after adjusting for other factors.
Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy with Autologous Fascia Lata.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, 3168, Australia.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.

Mechanical non-conformance of conventionally used transvaginal non-degradable meshes has led to complications like organ perforation, dyspareunia caused by mesh stiffness, and stress shielding. In this study, we have solved the dire need of mimicking the mechanical properties of vaginal wall by designing and developing a soft and elastic mesh made of polycaprolactone (PCL), citric acid modified polyethylene glycol (PEGC) and zinc oxide (ZnO) prepared through electrospinning and is tested in-vitro and in-vivo. Mesh containing 90:10:0.
