In April 2017, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) published the Management of Mesh and Graft Complications in Gynecologic Surgery. This article focuses on the management of meshes for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and its related complications or meshes for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its related complications.
