INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The synthetic mid-urethral sling (MUS) has been the pre-eminent surgical treatment option for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women in recent times. However, increasing numbers of patients are now requesting mesh removal, secondary to persisting symptoms attributed to their sling. We present a video demonstrating a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach to this procedure; along with supporting information outlining essential pre-operative assessment, counselling, and governance considerations.
METHODS: A 60-year-old woman presented with a 4-year history of pelvic pain. She ascribed this to her retropubic MUS (a tension-free vaginal tape). Following extensive work-up, the mesh was removed using the technique described.
RESULTS: On review, 3 months post-operatively, the patient reported improvement in the vaginal discomfort she had experienced prior to the procedure-albeit with concomitant deterioration in her SUI.
CONCLUSIONS: An open or laparoscopic approach can be employed to dissect out the retropubic arms of an MUS. The latter provides a superior view of the retropubic space and confers potential advantages regarding recovery and cosmesis. The surgical technique detailed is safe and effective, especially when augmented by thorough preparation and patient counselling.
