Annually, over 225,000 surgical procedures for POP are performed in the United States. The severity of prolapse is assessed using the four-stage POP-Q system, which facilitates clinical research by providing a standardized measure of defect severity. Surgical intervention is indicated for more severe cases, with various techniques available through vaginal or abdominal access. Synthetic meshes, primarily made of polypropylene (PP), are commonly used in POP surgeries due to their biocompatibility and mechanical support. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a non-resorbable, light polypropylene gynecological mesh (G-Mesh\u00ae, Tricomed S.A., \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland) in the surgical treatment of pelvic floor prolapse in women. Methods: The meshes were implanted via laparoscopy (Dubuisson method) and laparotomy or transvaginally. A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted involving 81 patients aged 28\u201383. Results: The results collected at three follow-up visits indicated a high level of patient satisfaction, minimal discomfort, and no significant pain. Many patients emphasized significant improvement in quality of life and the lack of any adverse events associated with the presence of the implant. Conclusions: The G-Mesh\u00ae gynecological mesh has emerged as an effective and safe intervention for treating pelvic floor dysfunction in women, addressing conditions such as cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse, and ureterocele.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13237421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T06:24:44Z","timestamp":1733379884000},"page":"7421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Safety and Effectiveness of G-Mesh\u00ae Gynecological Meshes Intended for Surgical Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse\u2014A Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Maciej","family":"Wilczak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2299-8353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Chmaj-Wierzchowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariusz","family":"W\u00f3jtowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Hospital in Zabrze, Zamkowa 4, 41-803 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Przemys\u0142aw","family":"K\u0105dzio\u0142ka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UROFEM Estetica Specialist Medical Practice, Kanclerska 2, 60-327 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulina","family":"Paul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Gajdzicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaja","family":"Jezierska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Witold","family":"Sujka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., \u015awi\u0119toja\u0144ska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tim, S., and Mazur-Bialy, A.I.
