Anyone use Bovine instead of mesh
I just met with a urogyn surgeon who discussed a hysterectomy with sacrocolpopexy for me. I said I would NOT use mesh so what's the alternative. She recommended bovine being the next best option. Has anyone used this?
For starters I know too many women who are currently undergoing mesh removal because of problems it has caused eroding into the vagina and other organs. Secondly I have had previous immune reactions to sutures for prior surgeries and a long history of allergies so it appears to put me in a higher risk category for mesh rejection, reaction etc. I am getting a 2nd opinion with another urogyn surgeon who uses harvested tissue from your own thigh to do the sacral colpopexy. Just wondering of anyone has had this done.
why would you not use mesh?
