Robot‑assisted surgical management of mid‑urethral sling erosion into the bladder using transperitoneal robotic extensive approach for total mesh excision.
Robot‑assisted surgical management of mid‑urethral sling (MUS) erosion into the bladder represents a novel approach in urological surgery. This study reports the first 2 cases in Poland treated using the transperitoneal robotic extensive approach for total mesh excision (TREATME). Both procedures were performed successfully, with complete mesh removal. No intra‑ or postoperative complications occurred, and conversion to open surgery was not required. These initial findings suggest that TREATME may be a feasible and safe option for managing complex MUS complications, necessitating further evaluation in larger studies.
