ABSTRACT
The tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) procedure has become one of the commonly used treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to good clinical outcome. However, there are several technical difficulties associated with this procedure. We performed fluoroscopy for imaging of the surgical procedure on the TVM to resolve the technical problems regarding needle penetration. Fluoroscopic imaging with rectogram and cystogram demonstrated the positions of the needle, pelvic organs and index finger for needle guidance in the TVM procedure. Fluoroscopic imaging may be useful to understand the movement of surgical devices in the blind space, objectively evaluate the surgeon's skill, avoid injury to the pelvic organs, and detect any such injury immediately should it occur.
