Transvaginal mesh, also known as vaginal mesh implant, is a net-like surgical tool that is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) among female patients.

Overall it is reported that about 5% to 20% of patients need surgical treatment. [55] [22] Surgery is said to be overused to treat ODS, with more than 50% of patients undergoing the stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) procedure. [22] There are many different surgical treatments which have been attempted to treat ODS. [33]

[42] [43] While a few doctors will prescribe decompression surgery, most will not. There are several different approaches in order to perform a decompression surgery on the pudendal nerve.
