Abstract

Abstract:

The use of transvaginal mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has caused much controversy in recent years, providing an effective minimally invasive treatment for the patient with POP, while leading to some serious mesh-related complications. These adverse mesh-related complications were partly caused by poor histocompatibility of mesh materials in pelvic floor tissue, and partly were due to the lack of appropriate regulatory approval procedures before marketing. From the metal implants to the woven polypropylene mesh, the surgical mesh for hernia repair has been developed for many years. These mesh materials are then used in the treatment of POP. In the past few decades, surgical mesh has achieved good results in the treatment of hernia through continuous reform. Therefore, the development of new mesh materials or tissue engineering technology can be more suitable for the treatment of POP. The purpose of this review is to explore how polypropylene mesh can be developed to repair the abdominal hernia and then be used in the treatment of POP. In addition, this text also discussed the relationship between the characteristics of mesh and the bad complications of mesh. Finally, this text also discussed the application prospect of some new mesh and tissue engineering in the treatment of POP.
