Such response has had a natural effect on the clinical application of the technology. An absurd situation is observed in some countries: the bans imposed by the authorities have directly or indirectly restricted patients' access to the most sophisticated technologies with proven efficacy. This literature review aims to systematize the perspectives of the scientific and regulatory communities in leading countries on the use of transvaginal mesh implants in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На сегодняшний день идет активная дискуссия об использовании синтетических имплантов в хирургии стрессового недержания мочи и пролапса тазовых органов не только среди экспертов в этой области, но и в прессе, пациентских сообществах и даже в юридических и политических кругах. Подобный резонанс не мог не отразиться на клиническом применении технологии. В ряде стран сложилась абсурдная ситуация: введенные властями запреты прямо или косвенно ограничили доступ пациентам к наиболее изученным технологиям с доказанной эффективностью. Целью данного обзора литературы является анализ взглядов научных сообществ и регулирующих органов ведущих стран мира на применение сетчатых имплантов, устанавливаемых трансвагинальным доступом, в лечении стрессового недержания мочи и пролапса тазовых органов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Current status of transvaginal mesh implants use in the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пролапс тазовых органов</kwd><kwd>стрессовое недержание мочи</kwd><kwd>сетчатый имплант</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Wu JM, Matthews CA, Conover MM, et al.
