Re: Long-term follow-up of sacrocolpopexy mesh implants at two time intervals at least 1 year apart using 4D transperineal ultrasound. V. H. Eisenberg, M. Steinberg, Z. Weiner, E. Schiff and L. Lowenstein. Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2017; 49: 398-403

Abstrakt

Eisenberg et al. carried out long-term follow-up of patients who had undergone correction for pelvic organ prolapse by robotic or laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with insertion of polypropylene Y mesh. They analyzed longitudinally 30 such patients who had undergone two postoperative follow-up assessments at least 1 year apart, with the first being at least 6 months postprocedure.

At each examination they assessed by 4D ultrasound the anatomy (descent) of pelvic organs as well as the mobility, location, descent and diameter of the implanted mesh, finding no significant longitudinal changes in descent of the pelvic organs or in mesh dimension, mobility and location.
