According to the findings of a new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, approximately 11.6% of women who undergo surgery with transvaginal placement of Ethicon Gynecare Prolift Mesh for repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) have to undergo additional operations due to complications or other problems that subsequently develop. European researchers contributed to this story.
Researchers reviewed the outcomes for 524 patients who received the Ethicon Gynecare Prolift vaginal mesh between January 2005 and January 2009. At a median follow up of 38 months, 11.6% had to undergo reoperation after receiving the Prolift Mesh for pelvic organ prolapse. About 6.9% of those reoperations were due to urinary incontinence, 3.6% due to mesh-related complications and 3% due to recurring prolapse, which the mesh is designed to treat. However, the researchers found that the number of mesh-related complications and POP decreased when experienced medical teams implanted the mesh.
