Overview

Objective:
Assessment of the effects of a new surgical method for complex resolution of pelvic floor defects.

Subjective:
Case study.

Setting:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bata Hospital, Zlín

Methods and results:
We evaluated the procedures and results of the new TVM (transvaginal mesh) surgical method which we used in a group of 12 patients. Ten patients had vaginal prolapse following vaginal hysterectomy and in two cases there was uterine prolapse and vaginal prolapse. Only in one case there was a small protrusion in the range of 0.5 cm which we resolved by removal of the penetrated section. The resulting anatomic effect was very good in all the cases.

Key words:
TVM (transvaginal mesh), uterine prolapse, vaginal prolapse
