The pelvic floor is a series of muscles that form what is also called a pelvic sling. It separates the pelvic cavity from the vaginal area and below. In some women the pelvic floor muscles may be damaged or unable to properly support the organs above. Sometimes this is referred to as pelvic organ prolapse. Prolapse means the organ(s) or affected area is unsupported or falling out of the area it is supposed to be in.

A transvaginal sling is a method of artificially reinforcing the pelvic floor using transvaginal mesh or pelvic mesh. The terms transvaginal, pelvic, abdominal, etc. refer to the means or route by which the surgeon inserts the mesh to the affected area. So in the case of transvaginal, this means they get to it via the vaginal canal. If they need to get to the pelvic area through a different route then it is referred to differently. The transvaginal route is the most common because often the transvaginal mesh is used in conjunction with or as part of other procedures where they are already in there.

What they refer to as a sling is the means by which they build the support for the organs as a sling around them supported by attachment at different end points, like a potato sack or a hammock (can’t think of any better analogies at the moment).

Problems like pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence are very common in women, which is why the issues surrounding transvaginal mesh are so widespread. Reinforcing the pelvic floor by constructing a sling is a common way of treating some of these ailments.

This is what the doctor did to my fiancee, except for a few mistakes along the way .
