Key Points

To develop a conceptual framework identifying key components of post-surgical pain in women who underwent mesh surgery for pelvic floor disorders.
Qualitative investigation designed to capture pain experiences among women following pelvic mesh placement.
Input incorporated clinical perspectives to support the design of a targeted patient-reported outcome measure.
Critical pain components specific to women recovering from pelvic mesh surgery were characterized into a conceptual framework.
Clinicians endorsed the implementation of a dedicated pain-specific tool to aid the diagnosis and clinical management of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.

Implication

Qualitative study uncovers core pain components in women following mesh surgery, indicating potential to improve diagnosis and management of pelvic floor disorders.

Abstract

This study identifies the important components of pain felt by women following mesh surgery. It is hoped that the development of a pain-specific PROM, as supported by clinicians, will assist in the timely and appropriate diagnosis and management of POP and SUI.
