Veit-Rubin N, et al. - Women after transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery for pelvic organ prolapse with and without mesh-associated complications were investigated for the differences in the vaginal microbiomes. Cases comprised of patients with complications and controls comprised of patients without complications. Recruitment of 14 patients after mesh exposure, 5 after contraction, and 21 as controls was performed. As per the analysis, mesh contraction could be related to the presence of Veillonella spp.. Vaginal microbiotic dysbiosis was not identified as a factor associated with exposure.
