Objective: To demonstrate the urodynamic and clinical effects of transvaginal polypropylene mesh repair (TVM) for severe cystocele with or without stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: One hundred women with severe cystocele who underwent transvaginal cystocele repair using a tension-free polypropylene mesh were included in a retrospective study. A simultaneous transobturator tape (TOT) procedure was performed in 24 patients with concurrent urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). Postoperative follow-up examinations included urodynamic testing, pelvic organ prolapse quantification, and urogynecologic questionnaire. Results: Mean follow-up was 35 months (range, 13-68 months). At 3-6 months after surgery, 2 (8.3%) of the 24 patients with USI who had undergone TVM and TOT had persistent SUI. Of the 30 women with occult USI who had undergone TVM alone, 6 (20%) developed symptomatic SUI and 9 (30%) had asymptomatic SUI. Thirteen (28.3%) of the 46 patients without USI developed postoperative SUI. The 1-year results showed de novo SUI in 10 (10%) women, recurrent cystocele in 6 (6%), and mesh erosions in 5 (5%). Four (13.3%) of the 30 patients engaging in sexual activity had dyspareunia. Conclusion: TVM is effective and safe in patients with severe cystocele, but may have an impact on voiding and sexual activity.
