Objective: This study aims to evaluate the risk factors for subjective recurrence and complications of patients who underwent transvaginal synthetic mesh surgery. Design:This retrospective cohort study included patients who received transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery between January 2005 and June 2019. Methods: The information of patients was collected, including basic characteristics, subjective recurrence, and mesh-related complications. The clinical characteristics of patients with and without subjective recurrence were compared. The sexual activities of patients before and after the operation were recorded. SPSS 20.0 was used for the statistical analysis. Results: A total of 257 patients were included. Among them, 62 (24.1%) patients were lost to follow-up. The median follow-up time was 80 months (12 months, 170 months). Finally, 195 patients were followed up, 11 (5.6%) patients had a subjective recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse, and 26 (13.3%) patients had mesh-related complications (11 patients with de novo pain and 15 patients with mesh exposure). We found significant differences in age (68.9±5.1 vs. 63.4±5.8 years old), years of post-menopause (17.5±6.3 vs. 13.3±6.9 years), previous hysterectomy (27.3% vs. 6.0%), and concomitant hysterectomy (45.5% vs. 81.0%) between patients with and without subjective recurrence (P<0.05). The mesh exposure proportion of patients with total vaginal mesh (47.6%) was significantly higher than that with anterior vaginal mesh (2.9%) (P<0.05). Furthermore, 6.7% of sexually active patients reported do novo dyspareunia. Limitation: The investigators could only record the subjective recurrence of patients, thus there is a lack of objective recurrence data. Conclusion: Age, years of post-menopause and previous hysterectomy are risk factors for subjective recurrence of transvaginal mesh surgery; however,concomitant hysterectomy is a protective factor. Mesh exposure is the most common complication, especially for total vaginal mesh repair surgery.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevant factors of pain after transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, and to analyze the management and relief of the pain. Methods A retrospective study of a clinical database of patients who underwent TVM surgery was conducted, and pain related aspects were analyzed. Results The incidence of pain after TVM surgery was 2.70% (50/1855), with a median occurrence time of 7.5 months. Pain symptoms mainly involved vagina, perineum, buttocks, groin, inner thighs, and lower abdomen. Greater intraoperative blood loss (OR = 1.284, 95%CI 0.868–2.401) and postoperative anatomic failure (OR = 1.577, 95%CI 0.952–3.104) were analyzed as risk factors with statistical significance. Mesh exposure rate in pain group was 38%, showing a significant difference between groups (P < 0.01). Forty patients underwent non-surgical treatments, with a relief rate of 40.0%; 33 patients were performed surgical treatments, 15 of which underwent partial mesh removal and 18 underwent complete mesh removal, with a relief rate of 84.8%. The total relief rate was 88% within all 50 patients suffering from pain. Conclusions Excessive intraoperative bleeding and postoperative anatomic failure can increase the risk of postoperative pain; mesh exposure, mesh contracture, and mesh position abnormality are also associated. Most patients can get pain relief with proper management, more than half of which may need mesh removal with differing amounts.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevant factors of pain after transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and to analyse the management and relief of the pain. Methods A multicentre retrospective study of a clinical database of patients who underwent TVM surgery was conducted, and pain related aspects were analysed. Results A total of 1855 patients were included in the study. We divided the patients into two groups: pain-free (1805 patients) and pain (50 patients) group. The incidence of pain after TVM surgery was 2.70%, with a median occurrence time of 7.5 months. Pain mainly involved the vagina, perineum, buttocks, groin, inner thighs, and lower abdomen. Excessive intraoperative blood loss (OR = 1.284, 95% CI 0.868–2.401) and postoperative anatomic failure (OR = 1.577, 95% CI 0.952–3.104) were analysed as risk factors with statistical significance. Mesh exposure rate in the pain group was 38%, showing a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.01). Forty patients underwent non-surgical treatment, with a relief rate of 40.0%, 33 patients received surgical treatment, 15 underwent partial mesh removal, and 18 underwent complete mesh removal, with a relief rate of 84.8%. The total relief rate was 88% within all 50 patients suffering from pain. Conclusions Excessive intraoperative bleeding and unsatisfactory postoperative anatomic outcomes can increase the risk of postoperative pain; mesh exposure is also associated with the pain. Most patients can get pain relief with proper management, more than half of whom may need mesh removal with differing approach.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery with and without midline fascial plication for anterior prolapse repair. This is a prospective randomized trial in a teaching hospital. This study compared patients with anterior vaginal wall prolapse (POP-Q Ba > −1) who were randomly assigned to either transvaginal mesh (TVM, Avaulta SoloTM, CR Bard. Inc., Covington, GA, USA polypropylene mesh delivery system) (group A, n = 32) or TVM with concomitant midline fascial plication (group B, n = 32). The outcomes of anatomy correction and life quality were evaluated using a pelvic organ prolapse quantification system and questionnaires. Sixty-four patients were included from January 2011 through April 2014 in this study. Group A had a mean age of 63.7 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 25.4 kg/m2. Group B had a mean age of 62.9 years and a BMI of 25.4. The mean follow-up duration was 18.6 months (range 12–50). At the 12-month follow-up, anatomic recurrence was higher in Group A (5/31, 16.1%) than in Group B (1/30, 3.3%) but without statistical significance (p = 0.19). Improvements in symptoms and quality of life were not significantly different between the two groups. Mesh extrusion was detected in three of 61 patients (4.9%): two from group A (6.7%) and one from Group B (3.2%). TVM with concomitant midline fascia repair for anterior vaginal prolapse had a comparable anterior support and mesh exposure rate compared with TVM alone. Trial Registration: IRB-B09904021
