Download or read book SMALL CASE SERIES PELVIC PAIN OUTCOMES AFTER TRANS VAGINAL MESH REMOVAL SURGERY AT A TERTIARY INTERDISCIPLINARY PELVIC PAIN CLINIC IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA written by Karen Chan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTIONComplications from surgery using transvaginal prolapse mesh or sub-urethral tapes have been well documented for many years (Baessler et al 2005). Surgical removal is indicated immediately if severe pain is present in the recovery room despite local anaesthetic infiltration during surgery (Vancaillie et al 2018). Little information is available on the impact of mesh-removal surgery on pelvic pain (Crosby et al 2014, Danford et al 2015) to help guide informed consent for this vulnerable group of women who continue to suffer.METHODA retrospective clinical audit was conducted of all mesh removals performed by one surgeon (TV) at an interdisciplinary tertiary clinic for pelvic pain. Removal is one part of their overall management plan. Data recorded included clinical symptoms, mesh type, surgical technique, symptoms before removal and patient reported clinical outcomes after removal. An online survey was sent via email and text to include the patient reported pelvic symptoms, overall quality of life, mental and general health since removal.RESULTSFrom October 2017 to February 2019, forty women underwent transvaginal mesh removal, age range from 42-70 years. 34 of 40 completed the audit (85% response). 46 mesh devices were removed from 40 women: u2022 34 sub-urethral slings (urinary incontinence) including 10 Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) and 24 Trans-Obturator (TVT-O).u2022 11 Prolapse Mesh (TVM = Total Vaginal Mesh)Surgical complications include six wound infections, one urinary tract infection and one post-operative urinary retention. Pain was present immediately in 22/40 women (55%), indicating post-surgical neuropathy. Pain was the main indicator for mesh removal, reported in 25/40 women (49%).CONCLUSIONPain was improved in 17/33 of respondents (51.5%) however mental health was worse in 15/33 (45.5%) after removal. This audit adds weight to Lee and colleagues (2013) suggestion that women should be forewarned that some trans-vaginal mesh complications are life-altering and might not always be surgically correctable.REFERENCES Baessler, K., Hewson, A.

Download or read book Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair written by Ara Darzi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The repair and management of inguinal hernias represents a significant part of the general surgeon's workload. It was therefore inevitable that following the success of laparoscopic cholysysectomy, surgeons would develop a procedure for repairing inguinal hernias laparoscopically. This book provides the first comprehensive account of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. The Editors' aim has been to give step-by-step guidance to each operative procedure discussed with reference to long term results. One of the biggest problems facing surgeons learning new laparoscopic procedures is an understanding and orientation of basic anatomy when viewed through the laparoscope. This issue is discussed at length with guidance on how to avoid the common pitfalls. Final chapters look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Lichtenstein open mesh hernia repair approach, safety and properties of non-absorbal mesh with the last chapters concentrating on laparoscopic suture repair and the new mini hernia operation.

She wrote this book to share her experiences with other women who are suffering from complications after having had mesh surgery or from taking Cipro. Nancy's goal is to provide further insights, tips on comfortable living, and practical advice on coping with a chronic illness while staying hopeful. Enmeshed offers essential information and advice for women on: - Types of incontinence and alternatives - Red flags about vaginal mesh - Say no to Cipro for minor infections - History of mesh and Cipro - How to live with a chronic illness - Have hope and a good support group

Download or read book Meshes Benefits and Risks written by Volker Schumpelick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a few years the surgical approach to abdominal wall hernias has focused on mesh-based treatment options. This dramatic change has set the stage for the third Suvretta meeting. All aspects of the mesh world have been discussed in detail by more than 50 international experts during an intense week resulting in an assessment of success and failures. After posing the question, whether meshes have defeated recurrences in the groin, epidemiological clinical data on recurrences were presented and show that this problem still exists. In particular, novel molecular biology-based research results stress the pathophysiological importance of a defective scarring process in these patients with inherent conclusions for future therapies. Regarding the variety existing meshes, there are already more than 100 different mesh devices, a comprehensive review of their chemical and textile properties was presented, with emphasis on their impact on biological responses. However, more than 90% of the participants articulated the need for improved mesh prosthesis, because their characteristic inflammatory and fibrotic foreign body reaction cause minor and major complications, e.g. pain, infections, adhesions, damage of the spermatic cord. The differentiated use of meshes in various procedures was discussed, including groin, incisional, parastomal, diaphragmal and hiatal hernias as well as their use in extended abdominal wall defects or in paediatric or plastic surgery. In summary this book summarizes the most up-to-date knowledge about meshes and hopefully serve as manual for both practical surgeons and scientists involved in the growing world of mesh.
