Abstract

In recent years, surgical mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse have been widely used. But at the same time, many cases were reported about the complication of surgical mesh. The complications were bleeding, infection, and organ perforation. There are many surgical method without using surgical mesh. They are old but safe and reliable. FDA pointed out that the mesh operation have many problems, and manufacturers of surgical mesh recently decided that their mesh should not be used for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse. But sorry to say that many surgeons still use surgical mesh for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Considering these situations, clinical results of surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse without using surgical mesh were summarized. Old methods in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse are far superior compared to mesh surgery.
