Özet

A 36-year-old para 2 woman with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage III anterior prolapse and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was treated using Polypropylene monofilament anterior vaginal mesh kit. She conceived 3 months after mesh replacement. During pregnancy and after delivery, patient satisfaction was achieved in terms of symptom relief, and surgeon satisfaction was obtained in terms of anatomical results. Three years after cesarean section, she had no incontinence, and on exam, POP-Q score was Ba -2 cm. No mesh complication was noted, and no sexual dysfunction was declared. In summary, vaginal mesh kits can be used satisfactorily for patients with anterior prolapse and SUI who want to be pregnant.
