No mess with mesh; vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) autologous posterior rectus fascia mesh for vaginal urinary incontinence procedures

Baekelandt, Jan ; Vertongen, Anne Sophie ; Matak, Luka and Stuart, Andrea LU (2024) In Journal of Gynecology Obstetrics and Human Reproduction 53(8).
Abstract

Urinary incontinence affects 25–45 % of women with the gold standard surgical approach being placement of mid-urethral synthetic slings; tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and trans-obturator tape (TOT). Due to the controversies regarding vaginal mesh the last decade, an increasing demand has evolved for incontinence treatment without vaginal synthetic mesh. The short term results of autologous rectus fascia sling for TOT surgery have shown similar success rates compared to those after the use of synthetic mesh, but the harvesting of the mesh is less minimally invasive and is associated with longer surgical time. vNOTES is a combination of a vaginal entrance to the abdomen and endoscopy via the vagina. The aim with the video is to show a... (More)

Urinary incontinence affects 25–45 % of women with the gold standard surgical approach being placement of mid-urethral synthetic slings; tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and trans-obturator tape (TOT). Due to the controversies regarding vaginal mesh the last decade, an increasing demand has evolved for incontinence treatment without vaginal synthetic mesh. The short term results of autologous rectus fascia sling for TOT surgery have shown similar success rates compared to those after the use of synthetic mesh, but the harvesting of the mesh is less minimally invasive and is associated with longer surgical time. vNOTES is a combination of a vaginal entrance to the abdomen and endoscopy via the vagina. The aim with the video is to show a new surgical technique with a fully vaginal, scarless vNOTES approach for harvesting the posterior rectus fascia for TVT and TOT procedures.
