doctor scheduled surgery for me, a uterine prolapse surgery. I am not scared, honestly, I just want this to go away once for all so I can continue with normal living without everyday worries. but I am pretty sure that I have heard him that he told that he will do this surgery without using a synthetic mesh. how? is that possible? is uterine prolapse surgery possible without the use of synthetic mesh or I am the only one who thinks opposite? I am not saying that I am right when it comes to this, but what happens if they don't use it? do they use something else?

when is the surgery? I am really surprised that your doctor hasn't told you much about it as soon as he scheduled the surgery. What about uterine prolapse treatment? Did he mention any of those? Look, the first thing that you need to know is that this repair actually can be performed through a vaginal approach and involves the reconstruction of the vaginal wall. Also, it includes the tissue between the rectum and the vagina. Now, about your main question - this procedure can be done with or without the use of synthetic mesh. I am not familiar with the fact that they are using something else.

Question for forever - to mesh or not to mesh. It depends, no one can tell you for sure what is the right for you beside your doctor. I know that the response of the body to synthetic mesh varies depending is this insertion abdominal or vaginal. That is a huge thing and it is very important. Also, it depends on a lot of the properties of the mesh and the woman’s age and the efficiency of her immune system. Why the immune system? Because it seems that it respond to synthetic meshes by a chronic inflammatory process with the production of the foreign body. I am pretty sure that your doctor will explain more to you about this.

Sure, this type of surgery can be done without it. I think that this is called a cystocele. Also, doctors call it an anterior repair that refers to the repair of the bladder prolapse. This type of repair can be performed through a vaginal approach. Also, you should know that this type of procedure involves the reconstruction of the vaginal wall and tissue between the bladder and the vagina. So, this type of procedure definitely can be done with or without the use of synthetic mesh, but only in this case. I am not so sure can you avoid it in some other cases.

Hi.
It depends. I think that there are still a lot of doctors who don't use a mesh. They use some traditional ways and they prefer to say that they would like to avoid mesh because some mesh complications can occur. But, on the other hand, vaginal mesh gave better two-year anatomical results than vaginal colposuspension. So, like you can imagine, every story has two sides, this one as well. But as I told before, no one can tell you what is the best for you. That is a personal choice, and all things need to be taken into consideration after consulting your doctor about it.

Hello. Good day. Generally, despite the multiple warnings that are released by the drug administrations all around the world a couple of years ago, I think that use of mesh in pelvic organ prolapse surgery continues to grow. Even the statistics say this, so it must be true. Mesh procedures were associated with an increased risk of reinterventions within one year and urinary retention after surgery. That is why it is very important to talk to your doctor about this, I think that surgery is possible without using it and I think that the percentage of the successful surgeries is really big.

hi. I had this surgery a couple of years ago and my doctor didn't want to use a synthetic mesh. now, my sister has the same problem, and she needs to have this surgery. she went to consult three different doctors and all three told her that they would use a synthetic mesh. now, she knows in my case my doctor didn't use it. she knows that I am fine and that I have recovered very fast. now, she is a little bit worried because she wants the same treatment as I had, but my doctor is not in this country anymore. what is the risk of the synthetic mesh?

Hello. I am surprised that doctor won't accept her decision, a operation without a synthetic mesh.I am not an expert so I can't really tell you, but I do know that the studies have reported adverse events following all types of mesh-based procedures. And like for everything, there are several complications with this as well. The risk complication varies based on the specific surgical indication, procedure, and a route. Also, it depends on your age, your health condition, etc. I am sure that your sister is worried but I am sure that doctor still knows what he is doing. Good luck.
