Summary
A novel surgical technique effectively removes bladder erosion caused by tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) mesh. This minimally invasive approach ensures complete mesh excision, resolving symptoms like recurrent infections and voiding issues.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Gynecologic Surgery
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) placement can lead to complications, including bladder erosion.
- Bladder erosion from TVT mesh causes significant patient morbidity, such as irritative voiding symptoms and recurrent urinary infections.

The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

5.2K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
