Abstract

A mesh pubovaginal sling (10) comprises two mesh pieces (unnumbered) each having a first mesh portion (15) of polypropylene and a second mesh portion (16) comprising an absorbable material poly-dioxanone underlying the first mesh portion (15). One piece is inserted at the endopelvic fascia and the other at the suprapubic region. The two pieces are then connected via sutures to support prolapsed organs so as to relieve urinary stress incontinence in patients.
