Abstract

In the last twenty years, we have seen mesh used initially for the treatment of urinary incontinence with great efficacy and for pelvic organ prolapse, which in some women have had a negative impact and unexpected morbidity. This has resulted in issuing of warnings by regulatory authorities [1-5] the voluntary removal of some of these products from the market, adverse publicity in the media and an impending Senate Enquiry.
