Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of transvaginal mesh bacterial colonisation in the development of mesh-related complication (MRCs).
An observational and exploratory study from Diedrich et al. was performed including 49 patients indicated for mesh removal and 20 women of whom vaginal tissue was retrieved during prolapse surgery as a reference cohort.
The authors observed distinct differences in bacterial numbers and species between patients suffering from MRCs compared to a reference cohort. Bacteria were observed at the mesh-tissue interface in a biofilm. These results strongly support the potential role of bacterial mesh colonization in the development of MRCs.
