The Effect of Medical Consultation on Patients' Concerns Regarding Vaginal Mesh Use in Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery.

CONCLUSION: Almost 75% of patients presenting for urogynecologic consultation had heard of vaginal mesh use, and 55.7% cited the media as their source of information. Medical consultation significantly reduced the patients' level of concern regarding the use of mesh in PFRS and significantly increased the proportion of patients willing to have mesh placed if appropriate.
