Aim: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the medium-term efficacy and safety of surgery with transobturator two-arm transvaginal mesh for cystocele and to verify whether the anterior arms are necessary for Japanese-style transvaginal mesh surgery.
Methods: The study included 203 patients with cystocele who underwent transobturator two-arm transvaginal mesh at our hospital between August 2015 and June 2017 and received appropriate follow-up care for at least 48 months after surgery.
Results: The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification stage was III in all the patients. Intraoperative complications included two cases of bladder injury and one case of more than 200 mL of blood loss. The mean observation period was 51.9 months, and prolapse recurred in the operated compartment in nine patients (4.4%). No cases of mesh exposure were observed. In comparing the preoperative characteristics of the 9 patients with prolapse recurrence at the surgical site with those of the other 194 patients, we found that the recurrence rate was significantly higher among patients in whom point Ba being 3.5 cm or more and among patients younger than 66 years.
Conclusions: Transobturator two-arm transvaginal mesh for cystocele was as good and safe as the procedure previously reported with four-arm mesh; thus, it was possible to omit the anterior mesh arms in Japanese-style transvaginal mesh surgery. Patients should be informed preoperatively that prolapse recurs at a significantly higher rate among younger patients and in those whose point Ba being 3.5 cm or more.

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.

Purpose: Surgical repair is considered the mainstay of genital prolapse management. Several procedures are available both by vaginal and abdominal route, with and without mesh augmentation. The Italian UroGynecology Association (AIUG) promoted this survey with the aim of evaluating current variations in the surgical management of various types of prolapse in different clinical settings and to compare practice amongst practitioners working in high- and medium/low-volume centers.

The prevalence of POP in women ranges from 30-40%, with 10-20% requiring surgical intervention. Annually, over 225,000 surgical procedures for POP are performed in the United States. The severity of prolapse is assessed using the four-stage POP-Q system, which facilitates clinical research by providing a standardized measure of defect severity.

Article Synopsis
- - The study addresses complications seen in women after polypropylene mesh surgery for urinary incontinence, highlighting the need for a preclinical animal model for better assessment before human trials.
- - Fourteen ewes were surgically implanted with either polypropylene or polyurethane tape to simulate the procedure, while post-operative assessments included monitoring for pain and complications.
- - The results indicated a successful procedure with no complications observed, marking this as the first significant large animal model aimed specifically at understanding suburethral mesh implantation.

Objective: This study evaluates the outcomes of modified transvaginal mesh (TVM) Surelift in managing advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) over a 3-year follow-up period, focusing on surgical success, functional improvement, and sonographic findings.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 99 women who underwent Surelift System surgery for advanced POP Stage III and IV between July 2018 to January 2020. Objective evaluation included Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), multichannel urodynamic (UDS), and introital 2D ultrasonographic measurement.
