Including a mesh has become standard in the repair and the type of material and weight can influence the two main important postoperative complications; recurrence and pain. READ MORE

12. Transvaginal mesh for pelvic organ prolapse : clinical and histological aspects
Abstract : The objectives of this thesis were to assess the objective, clinical, and sexual outcomes after transvaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using a trocar guided mesh kit, to ascertain the vaginal in vivo histological inflammatory response to large mesh, and to identify possible risk factors associated with exposures after transvaginal mesh surgery. A prospective multicenter cohort study was performed between June 2006 and March 2007 throughout 26 clinics in the Nordic countries. READ MORE

13. Clinical evaluation of transvaginal mesh for pelvic organ prolapse surgery
Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to increase the understanding and assess the outcomes in terms of complications, relieve of symptoms and anatomical results of anterior vaginal wall prolapse surgery using either trocar-guided transvaginal mesh or conventional anterior colporraphy, and to identify variables associated with lateral defects. A multicenter randomized controlled trial was performed between December 2007 and December 2008 in the Nordic countries comparing transvaginal mesh surgery for anterior prolapse with the Prolift® mesh kit with traditional anterior colporraphy.

14. Surgical quality control of minimally invasive procedures, fast-track surgery and implant technology in gynaecological surgery in Sweden
Abstract : Internationally as well as in Sweden, efforts for improvement in gynaecological surgery in recent decades have mainly focused on three new treatment concepts:(1) Use of minimally invasive procedures: since there is an interdependency between the extent of surgical trauma and the risk for adverse outcome, increased use of supposedly atraumatic endoscopic procedures has revolutionized several aspects of surgical care(2) A multimodal approach to eliminate harmful procedures in the peri-operative process based on evidence-based principles(3) Introduction of implants to support damaged tissue with synthetic mesh in incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse patients.Research question 1: Is introduction of a minimally invasive operation enough per se or is the measured improvement mediated by elimination of harmful procedures in the perioperative process?Findings: Our study (Paper I) indicates that by applying a multimodal intervention programme for the pre- and postoperative care of patients undergoing supravaginal hysterectomy, the surgical procedure per se is of less importance than generally considered.

15. Open abdomen therapy with vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction
Abstract : Introduction: Several life-threatening intra-abdominal conditions may be treated with open abdomen (OA) therapy. Potential complications to OA treatment include damage to the exposed bowel resulting in enteric fistulas, and inability to close the abdomen afterwards resulting in large ventral hernias. READ MORE
