PFD Week 2016-Avoiding and Surgically Managing Intravesical Mesh

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the complications associated with mesh placed in the bladder, particularly from retroputic synthetic slings and trocar-based mesh kits. It emphasizes the importance of proper training and experience to avoid these complications. The video also discusses the high rate of vaginal mesh erosion but highlights that placing mesh in the bladder wall is rare but does occur. The transcript goes on to present several challenging cases of surgical removal of foreign bodies from the bladder, including TBT mesh and biological grafts. The proper anatomical planes of dissection and surgical approaches for successful mesh removal are covered, along with the use of ureteral stents. The video concludes by discussing the importance of complete excision of mesh and the need for wide margins of dissection for successful repair. No specific credits are mentioned in the video transcript.
