I have yet to meet an individual who was not nervous heading into surgery. We all hope our health concerns will be addressed and resolved when having surgical repair; we all hope procedures will be complication free. Every surgical procedure has risk factors, thus the importance of looking for the right practitioner for our unique treatment needs and the most appropriate type of surgery to achieve the best results. A common topic in APOPS support forum is the safety of mesh procedures for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair.
