Urethral Mesh Assessment in Cancer Patients.

Abstract

Urethral mesh placement has become a common surgical intervention for the management of stress urinary incontinence. While this procedure offers significant benefits, it is not without potential complications. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of urethral mesh assessment in oncologic patients. The article explores normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) mesh appearances and highlights the pathological aspects associated with urethral mesh complications including both short-term and long-term post-operative complications. By understanding the spectrum of normal findings of urethral mesh and the possible complications, clinicians can improve patient outcomes and make informed decisions regarding urethral mesh management in this patient population.
