In a surgical mesh procedure, a specially designed synthetic mesh is placed as a support mechanism for a prolapsed (slipped) pelvic organ. The mesh itself can permanently halt prolapse and stop the problem of stress urinary incontinence that occurs due to weakening of the pelvic structures following a hysterectomy, vaginal childbirth or menopause. While the mesh can be placed either through the vagina or through an opening in the abdomen, a transvaginal procedure is typically performed because it is less invasive and doesn’t require an external incision. Your doctor will determine whether you are a good candidate for a transvaginal mesh procedure according to your specific condition.
