PFD Week 2016-A Novel Technique for Transurethral Excision of Intravesical Synthetic Mesh Extrusion

A Novel Technique for Transurethral Excision of Intravesical Synthetic Mesh Extrusion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 55-year-old woman underwent reconstructive pelvic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. She developed urinary urgency, frequency, pain, and recurrent infections. She later had a sacral neurostimulator implanted for overactive bladder. Four years later, a second opinion revealed mesh erosion on the posterior bladder wall. Intravasical mesh removal was performed using an endoloop device. The remaining mesh was excised, and the bladder was inspected and found to be intact. The mesh at the right exit site and the urethral orifice were also excised.
