Mesh Complications

Complications can occur when mesh is used in prolapse or urinary incontinence surgeries.

The use of mesh in pelvic floor, urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse procedures is very common. The FDA states that it is a standard care of practice in a variety of surgical procedures, such as sacrocolpopexy, sling or hysteropexy. Yet, many complications can happen when mesh is used in prolapse or urinary incontinence surgeries. Mesh complications may include mesh extrusion through the vagina, pain, trouble emptying the bladder, mesh erosion, shortened vagina and more. Mesh removal and revision procedures correct these issues, helping you live a pain-free life.
