Surgical management of mesh infection following laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and tension-free vaginal mesh surgery: a report of two cases with a literature review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe standard management for pelvic abscess or spondylodiscitis after reconstructive surgery previously involved total mesh excision, abscess drainage, and intravenous antibiotic administration. However, only few reports exist regarding the possibility of nonoperative management. CASE PRESENTATION: Postoperative mesh infection occurred in two cases of transvaginal mesh and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. In the first case, intravenous antibiotics were administered and debridement was performed. In the second case, intravenous antibiotics were administered, and local drainage was performed postoperatively, as sacral promontory infiltration was suspected. Diabetes was a comorbidity in both cases.
conclusionIt is necessary to select patients suitable for vaginal or laparoscopic mesh placement for pelvic organ prolapse preoperatively on the basis of prior history of the patients and once the patients provide informed consent for surgery after being explained the possible complications of pelvic reconstructive surgery, such as mesh infection.
