AI Article Synopsis
- * A new bioengineered TVM has been developed that can be seen with noninvasive imaging, has a structural profile similar to human tissue, and aims to reduce pain and inflammation associated with traditional TVM.
- * This innovation in TVM technology could significantly improve treatment outcomes in women's health by minimizing the long-term complications currently associated with pelvic floor surgeries.
Article Abstract
Pelvic floor disorders, including pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), are serious and very common. Surgery is commonly undertaken to restore the strength of the vaginal wall using transvaginal surgical mesh (TVM). However, up to 15% of TVM implants result in long-term complications, including pain, recurrent symptoms, and infection.Clinical Relevance- In this study, a new bioengineered TVM has been developed to address these issues. The TVM is visible using noninvasive imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT); it has a highly similar structural profile to human tissue and potential to reduce pain and inflammation. These combined technological advances have the potential to revolutionize women's health.
