Trends in Prolapse Repair Approaches Before and After Ban of Transvaginal Mesh
The use of TVM decreased for both URPS and non-URPS urologists in response to the FDA health warnings and eventual ban of TVM for POP. URPS urologists adapted to non-TVM techniques sooner than non-URPS urologists. By 2021, URPS urologists were performing the majority of POP repair cases compared with non-URPS urologists.
