The clinical application of biological mesh in surgery of female anterior pelvic organ reconstruction / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of biological mesh during female anterior pelvic organ reconstruction.Methods The 68 consecutive women with symptomatic anterior vaginal wall prolapse in Beijing hospital from January 2010 to June 2013 were divided into two groups6 cases underwent anterior vaginal wall repair with biological mesh,and 32 cases underwent vaginal approach to paravaginal repair.Preoperative and postoperative pelvic evaluations were performed with the POP-Q system.Patients were followed up at 1,3,6,12,24 months after operation.Objective cure was defined if the lateral sulci of the anterior vaginal walls were at grade 0 and firmly apposed to the lateral pelvic sidewalls.Results Among 68 patients,38 had grade Ⅲ and 30 had grade Ⅳ anterior vaginal wall prolapse.In all patients the anterior vaginal repair was performed successfully.The indexes of operation time,amount of bleeding,the postoperative retention time of catheter and hospital stay had no difference between biological mesh and vaginal approach groups [(88.1±18.3)min vs.(88.0±17.4)min,(140.3±77.6) ml vs.(141.3±64.9) ml,(5.30±1.79) d vs.(4.90±2.34) d,(5.53±2.00)d vs.(5.50±2.08)d,t=0.01,0.05,0.64,0.06,respectively,all P＞0.05].No complication happened during and after operation.No one relapsed in biological mesh group and 4 cases relapsed in paravaginal repair group.The relapse rate between two groups is statistically different(x2 =4.79,P＜0.05).Conclusions The anterior vaginal repair with biological mesh is effective during female anterior pelvic organ reconstruction,but the long-term outcome of biological mesh in pelvic floor construction needs further study.
