Outcomes of Total Excision of Retropubic and Transobturator Full Length Mid-Urethral Slings Using Standardised Surgical Techniques in Patients with Mesh Complications: A Retrospective Study Across Two Tertiary Mesh Referral Services

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the clinical and patient-reported outcomes following total excision of mid-urethral slings (MUS) in women experiencing mesh-related complications. Their study found that 91.7% of patients reported symptom resolution and 96.1% expressed high satisfaction after the procedure, with significant reductions in pain and urge urinary incontinence. While postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was common, it was notably lower in patients who underwent concomitant SUI surgery.
