Purpose Of Review: The success in the use of the tension-free midurethral sling procedures (tension-free vaginal tape, suprapubic arch, transobturator tape) has dramatically altered the approach to the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence in women and marked a resurgence in the use of mesh. We will analyze the characteristics of synthetic meshes and explain the rationale for using monofilament materials with larger pore sizes. Thus, the purpose of this review is to introduce the surgeon to a variety of commercially available mesh materials and the characteristics that make mesh suitable for use as sling grafts.
