PFD Week 2016-Revision of Intravesical Mesh

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video presents two cases demonstrating a minimally invasive approach to removing intravesical mesh. The use of polypropylene mesh for stress urinary incontinence treatment can lead to erosion into nearby organs, such as the bladder, causing discomfort and potential complications. The objective of the video is to show the use of instrumentation for safe and minimally invasive mesh removal. Different surgical approaches are discussed, including laparotomy and laparoscopy with or without robotic assistance. The first case involves using laparoscopic instruments directly in the bladder, removing approximately 2.5 cm of the mesh. The second case demonstrates the use of a cystoscopic scissors and a fascial closure device to remove a suture remnant. Both patients showed improvement and resolution of symptoms after the procedures.
