Robotic-assisted intravesical mesh excision following retropubic midurethral sling.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introduction and hypothesisIntravesical mesh is an uncommon complication following synthetic midurethral sling placement. Management options have included endoscopic techniques such as laser ablation or surgical excision. We present our technique for robotic-assisted excision of intravesical mesh following a retropubic midurethral sling.
methodsThe patient is a 66-year-old woman with a remote history of laser ablation of intraurethral mesh after midurethral sling, and persistent symptomatic intravesical mesh with associated stone at the bladder neck and right bladder wall. Robotic excision of the intravesical mesh and stone was performed by entering the space of Retzius, carrying the dissection along the right arm of the retropubic sling, performing two cystotomies to free and remove the mesh, and finally closing the cystotomies in two layers.
resultsThe patient was discharged on postoperative day 1. A cystogram prior to catheter removal showed no extravasation and a competent bladder neck. She reported no new stress incontinence and had improvement in overactive bladder symptoms.
conclusionsRobotic excision of intravesical mesh after synthetic midurethral sling was safely performed in this patient who had multiple areas of intravesical mesh. Management aspects reported here may be helpful for complex presentations of intravesical mesh.
