Abstract

The application of synthetic materials in female pelvic floor reconstructive surgery reduces the reoccurrence of pelvic organ prolapse, while the synthetic material contraction may result in pain, discomfort in sexual intercourse and decreased compliance of vigina, which affect the quality of life. The chemical properties and structure of synthetic materials, surgical approach, local infection as well as vaginal environment will affect the mesh contraction after surgery. The research progress of mechanism of synthetic material contraction after female pelvic floor reconstructive surgery is reviewed in this paper.
