AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Combined Vaginal and Robotic Technique for Complete Removal of a Retropubic Midurethral Sling

Combined Vaginal and Robotic Technique for Complete Removal of a Retropubic Midurethral Sling

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a case is presented involving the complete removal of a retropubic sling using a combined vaginal and robotic technique. The patient, a 45-year-old female, complained of a periodic rash under her arms which she suspected was an allergic reaction to her synthetic mesh. After evaluations by dermatologist and hematologist, no source of allergy or pathology was found. The patient underwent vaginal assisted robotic laparoscopic sling removal. The surgery involved vaginal and robotic approaches, with meticulous dissection and removal of the mesh from its attachments. The procedure was successful, and the patient experienced resolution of her rash without complications. Overall, the video demonstrates the feasibility of removing sling mesh using minimally invasive techniques. No credits were given in the transcript.
