Retropubic Robotic Excision of Mesh for the Treatment Of Midurethral Slings and Transvaginal Prolapse Mesh Erosion Into the Bladder.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a recording of a retro-pubic robotic excision of mesh and bladder repair procedure for the treatment of mid-urethral slings and transvaginal prolapse mesh erosion into the bladder. Mesh kits used for stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse can cause foreign body in the bladder. The incidence of mesh erosion varies widely, but removal procedures have typically involved cystotomy. The study evaluates the retropubic robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of mesh erosion in five patients with mesh-related bladder complications. The procedure successfully removed the mesh, improved symptoms, and reduced the recurrence of erosion. The technique is considered when other minimally invasive procedures have failed.
