(Video Poster 17) A Meshy Dissection:Cystoscopic Assisted Robotic Excision of Bladder Mesh Erosion

Objectives: In this video we describe a minimally invasive surgical approach using cystoscopic assistance during robotic assisted laparoscopic excision of intravesical mesh from a retropubic mid urethral sling mesh erosion.

Methods: Surgical video of cystoscopic assisted robotic excision of retropubic midurethral sling mesh bladder erosion with description and demonstration of technique.

Clinical Relevance: Midurethral sling mesh procedures are common and as they grow in popularity, complications are bound to occur. We, as Urogynecologists, need to be prepared and able to deal with these complications. Each mesh complication is unique and necessitates different skills and techniques for treatment. This video describes the technique of cystoscopic assistance during laparoscopic excision of bladder mesh erosion, a technique that Urogynecologists may use to aid them when dealing with mesh complications.
