Is vaginal mesh removal surgery set to get easier?

It’s a known fact that vaginal mesh removal surgery is incredibly difficult to achieve. It can be hard – or in some cases, impossible – to remove. But could new surgical techniques improve the prospects of success?

It’s understood that a pioneering new method of surgery is being trialled in New Zealand that uses robotic arms that are controlled by a surgeon. This new method is thought to be potentially better for surgeons to be able to remove dangerous mesh from inside a patient with greater success and with reduced chances of damage to surrounding tissue.

For the many women who have suffered horrendous virginal mesh complications who have been unable to undergo successful surgery for removal, this new method may bring greater hope.

About the new vaginal mesh removal surgery technique

This new vaginal mesh removal surgery technique is said to involve a surgeon operating robotic arms from a console. Cameras with enhanced vision can be used in efforts to offer greater visibility, which can help to avoid accidental damage to nearby tissue, like cutting nerves.

The robotic arms can also allow for greater access to the surgical area.

Given how specialist and difficult this kind of surgery is, any technology that can be used to make surgery safer and easier is welcome news.

Renewed hope?

This new, pioneering vaginal mesh removal surgery technique may offer new hope for the many patients who have suffered as a result of mesh devices that have gone wrong.
