Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the mid-term efficacy of tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and observe the time course of lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual function. METHODS In this retrospective study, we included 112 female patients who underwent TVM at a single center for stage 2 or higher POP, and replied to questionnaires before, and 2 and 4 years after TVM. We evaluated the anatomical cure rate, prolapse quality of life questionnaire scores, international prostate symptom scores, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form scores, and Female Sexual Function Index scores. RESULTS The anatomical cure rate at 4 years was 89%. Voiding and storage symptoms improved in patients after TVM. We found that 25/112 patients had sexual intercourse before TVM, and among them, 15/25 (60%) continued sexual intercourse after TVM. Additionally, of the 87 patients who had no sexual intercourse before TVM, 13 resumed sexual intercourse after TVM. CONCLUSION Cases of TVM have decreased because of the Food and Drug Administration statements concerning mesh problems. However, this study showed relatively favorable mid-term results for lower urinary tract symptoms. Furthermore, sexual activity was restored in some patients, indicating the efficacy of TVM for sexual function.

Abstract
Background Recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) after transvaginal mesh (TVM) implantation pelvic floor reconstruction surgery remains an unresolved problem in clinical practice. In this retrospective observational study, clinical and pelvic floor ultrasound (PFUS) parameters were analyzed in order to identify high-risk factors of POP recurrence.
Methods The clinical and PFUS data from September 2013 to November 2019 of patients who underwent TVM were retrospectively analyzed. The patients with prolapse recurrence on postoperative follow-up diagnosed by PFUS were selected as case group, the clinical and PFUS parameters of them were compared with the control group in which the patients had no sign of prolapse recurrence. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed based on age, BMI, gravidity, parity, surgical history (non-POP hysterectomy and incontinence-or-POP surgery), preoperative POP stage, follow-up in years, levator avulsion and hiatal area (HA) on Valsalva. Results Altogether 102 patients entered the study and the median interval between PFUS and TVM surgery was 2.5 years. Univariate analysis showed that levator avulsion and HA were significantly different between case group and control; multivariate regression analysis showed that only HA was related to prolapse recurrence after TVM (OR = 1.202, 95% CI 1.100–1.313, P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve was 0.775 (95% CI 0.684–0.867, P < 0.001). Conclusions Hiatal area on Valsalva was related to prolapse recurrence after TVM surgery and it is an important parameter for postoperative follow-up of TVM surgery.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the overall outcomes and complications of transvaginal mesh (TVM) placement for the management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with different meshes with a greater than 10-years of follow-up. Methods We performed a retrospective review of patients with POP who underwent prolapse repair surgery with placement of transvaginal mesh (Prolift kit or self-cut Gynemesh) between January 2005 and December 2010. Baseline of patient characteristics were collected from the patients’ medical records. During follow-up, the anatomical outcomes were evaluated using the POP Quantification system, and the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) was used to assess the response of a condition to therapy. Overall postoperative satisfaction was assessed by the following question: “What is your overall postoperative satisfaction, on a scale from 0 to 10?”. Relapse-free survival was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves. Results In total, 134 patients were included. With a median 12-year (range 10–15) follow-up, 52 patients (38.8%) underwent TVM surgery with Prolift, and Gynemesh was used 82 (61.2%). 91% patients felt that POP symptom improved based on the PGI-I scores, and most satisfied after operation. The recurrence rates of anterior, apical and posterior compartment prolapse were 5.2%, 5.2%, and 2.2%, respectively. No significant differences in POP recurrence, mesh-associated complications and urinary incontinence were noted between TVM surgery with Prolift versus Gynemesh. Conclusions Treatment of POP by TVM surgery exhibited long-term effectiveness with acceptable morbidity. The outcomes of the mesh kit were the same as those for self-cutmesh.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate long-term (5-10 years) outcomes of Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) kit insertion with Prolift® (non-absorbable) mesh compared to the use of Prolift M® (partially absorbable), for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair. Study design: In this retrospective study we compared women undergoing MIS kit Prolift® insertion (n=90) vs. Prolift M® insertion (n=79) for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair between 2006 and 2012 at our Institution. A number of 169 women fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Results: During the study period 128 women (76%) completed full follow-up; of them 58 (73%) following MIS kit Prolift® insertion, and 70 (88%) following MIS kit ProliftM® insertion. There was no significant difference between the Prolift® and Prolift M® regarding parity (3.04 vs. 2.88, p=0.506), presence of hypertension (24.1% vs. 39.1%, p=0.088), diabetes mellitus (3.4% vs. 11.6%, p=0.109), or urinary stress incontinence (39.7% vs. 47.1%, p=0.475). All participants had been diagnosed with POP grade 3 or 4 before the procedure. No significant complications during the procedure or postoperative period were identified in the study groups. The follow-up period was at least five years in duration for both groups. Both groups were comparable according to questionnaires focused on function and satisfaction. Conclusion: Patients undergoing MIS kit Prolift® and Prolift M® insertion for anterior vaginal wall prolapse repair had comparable early and late postoperative outcomes. No differences in patient's function and satisfaction between the two groups were identified. According to our findings, there is no superiority to either of the two studied mesh devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update clinical practice guidelines on graft and mesh use in transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair based on systematic review. DATA SOURCES Eligible studies, published through April 2015, were retrieved through ClinicalTrials.gov, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases and bibliography searches. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION We included studies of transvaginal prolapse repair that compared graft or mesh use with either native tissue repair or use of a different graft or mesh with anatomic and symptomatic outcomes with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Study data were extracted by one reviewer and confirmed by a second reviewer. Studies were classified by vaginal compartment (anterior, posterior, apical, or multiple), graft type (biologic, synthetic absorbable, synthetic nonabsorbable), and outcome (anatomic, symptomatic, sexual function, mesh complications, and return to the operating room). We found 66 comparative studies reported in 70 articles, including 38 randomized trials; quality of the literature has improved over time, but some outcomes still show heterogeneity and limited power. In the anterior vaginal compartment, synthetic nonabsorbable mesh consistently showed improved anatomic and bulge symptom outcomes compared with native tissue repairs based on meta-analyses. Other subjective outcomes, including urinary incontinence or dyspareunia, generally did not differ. Biologic graft or synthetic absorbable mesh use did not provide an advantage in any compartment. Synthetic mesh use in the posterior or apical compartments did not improve success. Mesh erosion rates ranged from 1.4-19% at the anterior vaginal wall, but 3-36% when mesh was placed in multiple compartments. Operative mesh revision rates ranged from 3-8%. CONCLUSION Synthetic mesh augmentation of anterior wall prolapse repair improves anatomic outcomes and bulge symptoms compared with native tissue repair. Biologic grafts do not improve prolapse repair outcomes in any compartment. Mesh erosion occurred in up to 36% of patients, but reoperation rates were low.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess long-term patient-centered functional outcomes following posterior vaginal wall repair using mesh implants. METHOD The present prospective telephone interview study enrolled a cohort of women who had undergone posterior vaginal wall repair with mesh between January 1, 2006 and February 28, 2009, at a single center in Israel. Patients were asked to report long-term outcomes, and demographic, clinical, intraoperative, and postoperative follow-up data were retrieved from patients' medical files. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to asses associations between baseline characteristics and long-term outcomes. RESULTS In total, 102 patients were contacted, with 80 (78.4%) at 61-83months after surgery agreeing to participate. A recurrence of prolapse symptoms was reported by 14 patients (18%) (12 required a corrective procedure), mesh had been removed from two patients owing to erosion/extrusion, and two others had undergone removal of granulation tissue. Long-term, bothersome symptoms were reported by 13 (16%) patients. Parity and previous hysterectomy were associated with lower odds of long-term adverse outcomes, and the location of the apical (C/D) pelvic organ prolapse quantification point and a change in its position following surgery were associated with increased odds of adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION The long-term adverse-outcome rate was low for patients who underwent posterior vaginal mesh augmentation. These results highlight the importance of apical support for good long-term functional outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare patient outcomes of mesh repair and colporrhaphy for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse (AVP). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed(®), Embase(®), and Cochrane Library databases to identify the included studies. The outcome measures included anatomical success, patient satisfaction, patient sexual function, perioperative data, and complications. Statistical analyses were performed using Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager software (RevMan 5.1.4). RESULTS The study inclusion criteria were met by 11 articles involving 1455 patients. Synthesized data indicated that mesh surgery was more complex than colporrhaphy with regard to perioperative condition [mean difference (MD) 0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07-0.49, p = 0.010]. There were no significant differences for the following complications: urinary retention [relative risk (RR) 1.12, 95% CI 0.65-1.94, p = 0.68], urinary incontinence (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.63-1.63, p = 0.96), voiding difficulty (RR 1.11, 95% CI 0.69-1.80, p = 0.66), dyspareunia (RR 1.21, 95% CI 0.87-1.67, p = 0.26), urinary tract infection (RR 1.15, 95% CI 0.74-1.78, p = 0.53), and vaginal bulge (RR 1.08, 95% CI 0.93-1.25, p = 0.32). There were instances of more serious complications in group 1, i.e., the mesh group. However, AVP cure rate was significantly higher in the mesh group (RR 1.44, 95% CI 1.34-1.55, p < 0.00001). The cure rate was not significantly dependent on patient satisfaction (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.96-1.26, p = 0.16) or postoperative sexual function (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.90-1.11, p = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS Surgical repair with the mesh procedure appears to be a better choice for the treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the initial placement of Elevate single-incision mesh kit device tips relative to the sacrospinous ligament, and to measure tip movement over a 6-month period from initial placement. DESIGN Prospective cohort. SETTING Tertiary care urogynaecology centre in Calgary, Canada. POPULATION Women electing for surgical management of anterior vaginal wall prolapse. METHODS Ten women underwent anterior prolapse repair using the Elevate single-incision mesh kit with a metallic fiducial marker attached to the tips of the surgical device. Women were imaged by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 48 hours of surgery, and again 6 months later to investigate the position of the device tips and change ≥4 mm over the 6-month postoperative period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Position of self-fixating tips within 48 hours of surgery, and at six months post-operative. RESULTS Anchor insertion was directly into the sacrospinous ligament in 10 of 20 insertion points (50%, 95% CI 27-73%). Movement was most often noted in the cranial-caudal direction: a change in location of ≥4 mm was observed for 8/20 anchors (40%, 95% CI 19-64%). Cranial-caudal movement was observed less frequently among sacrospinous anchors than among anchors inserted into other pelvic structures (1/10 versus 7/10, P = 0.020, difference in proportion -60%, 95% CI -94 to -26%). PFDI-20 scores improved statistically significantly by 6 months (P = 0.008, mean change -62.9%, 95% CI -105.1 to -20.7%), but PFIQ-7 scores did not change statistically significantly over the same time period (P = 0.523, mean change -12.4%, 95% CI -54.5 to 29.8%). CONCLUSIONS The novel self-fixating anchoring tips of this single-incision mesh kit do not reliably anchor into the sacrospinous ligament. The tips have been shown to move with time, although not all cases of anchor movement were associated with recurrent prolapse.
