“…The more horizontal line of the mesh tape is thought to recreate the natural position of the pubourethral ligament. Multiple short-term studies from Europe have established the efficacy of the transobturator approach with significantly shorter operating time than TVT (11.5 minutes vs 15.2 minutes, respectively) [23], with cure rates between 80% and 85% at 12 months [24,25] and a de novo urgency rate of 10%. However, early evidence exists that transobturator slings may be better suited for women with hypermobility-predominant SUI, not intrinsic sphincter deficiency.…”

This would be potentially advantageous for women with a history of incontinence surgeries or any intrabdominal surgery that obliterates the retropubic space.…”

Pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence increase with age. The increasing proportion of the aging female population is likely to result in a demand for care of pelvic floor prolapse and incontinence. Experimental evidence of altered connective tissue metabolism may predispose to pelvic floor dysfunction, supporting the use of biomaterials, such as synthetic mesh, to correct pelvic fascial defects. Re-establishing pelvic support and continence calls for a biomaterial to be inert, flexible, and durable and to simultaneously minimize infection and erosion risk. Mesh as a biomaterial has evolved considerably throughout the past half century to the current line that combines ease of use, achieves good outcomes, and minimizes risk. This article explores the biochemical basis for pelvic floor attenuation and reviews various pelvic reconstructive mesh materials, their successes, failures, complications, and management.
