Amniotic Membrane Graft in the Management of Complex Vaginal Mesh Erosion
Vaginal mesh erosion is a devastating complication after pelvic floor mesh surgery and it can be treated conservatively or with surgical revision. However, the management options following a failed primary revision or complex vaginal erosions are very limited. The aim of this study is to describe a novel treatment using an amniotic membrane as an inlay graft for such patients. Eight patients who failed conservative or primary surgical revision were enrolled. The complex erosions included vaginal agglutination, multiple vaginal erosions, recurrent erosions, and mesh cutting through the urethra. We used an amniotic membrane as a graft to cover the vaginal defect after partial excision of the mesh erosion and we describe the technique in this study. There were no intraoperative complications and none of the patients reported any further symptoms at a mean of 27 months follow-up. Only one patient had recurrent erosion, however, the erosion size was narrower and was subsequently successfully repaired. No further vaginal mesh erosions were noted in the other patients who all had good functional recovery. The use of an amniotic graft can be an economic and alternative method in the management of complex vaginal mesh erosions.
