Conservative surgical management of Mersilene mesh suburethral sling erosion

Article Abstract:

It may be possible to surgically correct Mersilene mesh sling erosion so the sling will not have to be removed. Mersilene mesh slings are a synthetic mesh used to treat urinary incontinence. Surgeons surgically corrected Mersilene mesh slings in seven women whose slings had begun to erode between 4 and 12 weeks after the initial operation. The surgery was successful in all cases and all seven women did not experience urinary incontinence.

Histopathologic changes of porcine dermis zenografts for transvaginal suburethral slings

Article Abstract:

The histopathologic changes of HMDI (Hexamethylene di-isocyanate) cross-linked porcine dermis grafts used for suburethral sling surgery is examined. HMDI cross-linked porcine dermal collagen implants results in variable tissue reactions that might have unpredictable clinical outcomes in different patients, raising questions about the overall tolerability and efficacy of these grafts in pelvic reconstructive surgery.
