Description
Mahdi Norouzi and co-authors present a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis of a newer mesh material in pelvic organ prolapse surgery. In prolapse, pelvic organs slip down and bulge through the vagina. Sacrocolpopexy fixes this by anchoring tissue to the spine with mesh. The review compared polyvinylidene fluoride mesh with standard polypropylene.
From 319 screened studies, twelve were included, covering 1,093 women. Rates of mesh exposure, recurrence, sexual problems, and reoperation with the new material were all near zero, though small samples left wide uncertainty. New urge incontinence appeared in a third of women. No outcome differed significantly between the two meshes, so the authors call for stronger trials.
