Transvaginal Mesh Repair

Transvaginal Mesh Repair is a surgical technique used to treat uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus descends or protrudes into the vaginal canal. It is a minimally invasive procedure that provides long-term support to the weakened pelvic structures, helping to restore the normal position of the uterus and alleviate symptoms.

The transvaginal mesh repair procedure begins with the administration of general or regional anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Our skilled surgeons then make small incisions in the vaginal wall, through which they access the prolapsed uterus and surrounding pelvic structures. Using specialised surgical instruments and advanced imaging guidance, the surgeons carefully position a synthetic mesh material to provide support to the weakened pelvic floor. The mesh is strategically placed to reinforce the affected area and create a durable scaffold that supports the uterus in its proper position. The mesh used in transvaginal mesh repair is typically made of a biocompatible synthetic material, such as polypropylene. This material has been specifically designed to be well-tolerated by the body and to promote tissue ingrowth, allowing the mesh to integrate and provide long-term support. Once the mesh is securely in place, the surgeons close the incisions in the vaginal wall, ensuring proper alignment of the tissues. The mesh remains in the body to provide ongoing support to the pelvic structures and prevent the recurrence of uterine prolapse.

Transvaginal mesh repair offers several advantages for women with uterine prolapse. The procedure is minimally invasive, resulting in smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The use of mesh provides durable and long-lasting support, addressing the underlying cause of uterine prolapse and improving symptoms such as pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and discomfort. While transvaginal mesh repair has been effective for many women, there have been reports of complications associated with the use of mesh, including mesh erosion, infection, and pain. These risks and potential complications will be thoroughly discussed with you during the consultation process, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits, risks, and alternatives of the procedure.
