This is quite the video in that it takes us through the entire process of implanting a mesh support for treatment of POP...it is graphic and a video of a live surgical procedure, so it may take you a moment of so to get over the GAG reflex that I experienced. This , in my opinion, is a very risky and potential dangerous procedure, from personal experience. Painful intercourse for the male, inflammation and continuous pain in the surgical area plus radiating pain into the legs, hips and buttocks for the female.
This implanting of a vaginal mesh was NOT a recording of the surgery Dr. Michael Hulse of Falany and Hulse, Canton Ga, yet the results were the same. I would avoid ANY doctor who , like Dr. Hulse, recommends the implantation of this into your body.
here is the pdf of the conversation and the explanation

ok...ONLY a 4% failure rate...lets see.....4% of 200,000 is ONLY 8,000 ...not that many , huh?
" pelvic organ prolapse is a significant problem in the United States,
and especially given the growing portion of our elderly population. The lifetime risk of
undergoing surgery for prolapse and incontinence up to the age of 80 is 11%, and
approximately 200,000 surgeries are performed annually for prolapse in the U.S. Surgery is
an effective treatment for prolapse, and the sacrocolpopexy is an optimal procedure for
advanced uterine or apical prolapse. A sacrocolpopexy can be performed abdominally,
laparoscopically, or robotically. "
another quote during the surgery ....
"This patient had reported a history of a prior MMK and a prior abdominal hysterectomy through vertical midline incisions,
stated she definitely did not have any mesh placed, however, it turns out that she had a
prior colpopexy and the mesh was still in place that had detached from the top of the vagina.
This mesh was still attached to the sacrum, and so initially when we were doing the
presacral dissection, higher up on the sacrum -- maybe one or a centimeter below the
sacral promontory there was no scarring, but below that you could see the prior mesh from
the colpopexy, so that's the dissection we had performed earlier. We will be moving back to
that space once we attach the mesh to the anterior and posterior vagina. Then we'll attach
the longer portion of the Y-mesh to the sacrum."
prior mesh ? erosion? failure? hmmm
