Introduction And Hypothesis: To present a novel technique to remove intravesical eroded mesh through a 3-mm trocar-assisted cystoscopy.
Methods: First, a 3-mm trocar was inserted into the bladder under ultrasound guidance after the bladder had been infused with 600 ml normal saline. Second, we inserted the forceps through the trocar into the bladder and pulled the mesh through the 3-mm trocar. Last, cystoscopic scissors were used to remove the eroded mesh completely.
Results: The patient was managed adequately in the inpatient department. The urethral catheter was left in situ for 3 days, and the patient was discharged within 5 days.
Conclusion: Surgery under 3-mm trocar-assisted cystoscopy offers the advantage of lower risk of morbidity and complications compared to other surgical techniques. It is an effective and feasible procedure for treatment of synthetic mesh erosion into the bladder after TVM surgery.

There is growing concern surrounding the human health effects following inhalation exposure to microplastic fibers (MPFs). MPFs can harbor chemical additives, such as azobenzene disperse dyes (ADDs), that may contribute to their toxicity. The goal of this study was to determine the acute biological effects of dyed polyethylene terephthalate MPFs to fully differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells cultured at an air-liquid interface.

We present here the case of a woman in her 40s with a history of an adjustable gastric band placed a decade ago. After the initial procedure, she had issues with a port-site hernia, mesh placement, and explantation secondary to mesh infection. Her port was removed at the time, with the tubing left in situ with hopes of future salvage.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We describe the surgical management of intravesical mesh perforation following transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
Methods: A 73-year-old woman presented with intravesical mesh perforation 17 years following transvaginal mesh-based prolapse repair at an outside hospital. The patient presented with intermittent hematuria and recurrent urinary tract infections.

We report a case of a 76-year-old female presenting with intermittent obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding originating from the small intestine secondary to a delayed complication related to mesh hernioplasty. The mesh was eroding into the small bowel causing intermittent transfusion-dependent GI bleeding. Multiple upper and lower endoscopic investigations were sought over the last two years, but they were noncontributory.

Introduction And Objectives: Depending on the indication, there are multiple surgical approaches for the removal of mid-urethral mesh slings (MUS): transvaginal, endoscopic, open abdominal, and robotic. We demonstrate the robotic approach to treat MUS that have eroded into the bladder. The robotic approach offers excellent exposure, visualization, and accessibility.
