The location of mesh placed at the time of abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC) is hypothesized to be in the same location histologically as mesh placed via full-thickness vaginal dissection in a cadaver model. Ten fresh frozen cadavers underwent mesh placement via traditional ASC. In the same specimen, a transvaginal mesh (TVM) procedure was performed, attempting a full-thickness dissection. A block section was excised from each area including full thickness of the vagina and bladder with the intervening mesh. This was analyzed by a blinded pathologist. All cadavers underwent successful placement of both transabdominal mesh and TVM. Of the abdominally placed meshes, 6 were located between the vagina and bladder, whereas 3 were situated within the vaginal wall, with an average depth of 0.30 mm. Five of the vaginal mesh pieces were placed between the bladder and vagina, and 4 within the vaginal wall at a depth of 0.25 mm. One specimen placed vaginally was 0.05 mm within the serosa of the bladder. One specimen could not be interpreted, despite multiple cuts. ASC and full-thickness vaginal dissection result in histologically similar locations. Dissection for ASC may only result in the correct plane between the bladder and vagina in approximately 60 % of cases. We achieved full-thickness dissection for the transvaginal approach in 50 % of the cases, with one small penetration into the bladder serosa. Using a full-thickness dissection technique for TVM may be one way of reducing mesh exposure rates in those seen with ASC.
