Objectives:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of meshes' use in gynecological vaginal operations.
Design:
A prospective analysis of early postoperative results and complications.
Materials And Methods:
All patients were operated on in Gynecological Department of District Hospital in Rzeszow. The investigated group consisted of 37 women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse. The degree of prolapse was evaluated with modified Baden Walker scale before procedure and three months after operation. Operations with use of synthetic materials (anterior and posterior colporraphy) were performed parallel with other gynecological procedures. The results of operations were compared to control group matched according to the age and parity. The control group consisted of patients operated on because of genital organs disorders excluding genital prolapse.
Results:
The reduction of genital prolapse degree was found in all patients. In 3/4 of them it was degree 0 in Baden-Walker modified scale.
Conclusions:
The synthetic materials may be used in gynecological vaginal surgery together with conventional procedures. The advantages of operations with meshes' use are high efficacy and small number of complications.
