Extensively studied. Consistent results. Gold standard procedure.
This compendium summarizes the clinical evidence for efficacy and safety of Restorelle Ultra Lightweight Mesh, which is indicated for use as a bridging material for sacrocolposuspension/sacrocolpopexy (transabdominal placement via laparotomy, laparoscopic, or robotic approach) where surgical treatment for vaginal vault prolapse is warranted.
Restorelle Y incorporates Smartmesh technology in customized shapes specifically for sacrocolpopexy procedures. It is the first mesh designed by a surgeon, specifically with a woman’s anatomy and tissue healing requirements in mind.

Ultra lightweight, plus long-term success rates
Restorelle redefined surgical outcomes and continues to restore patient anatomy and renew quality of life.

Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour Polypropylene Mesh Brief Statement
Indications
Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour are indicated for use as a bridging material for sacrocolposuspension/sacrocolpopexy (transabdominal placement via laparotomy, laparoscopic, or robotic approach) where surgical treatment for vaginal vault prolapse is warranted.
Contraindications
It is the responsibility of the physician to advise the prospective patients or their representatives, prior to surgery, of the contraindications associated with the use of this product. The Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour are contraindicated for use in patients with the following conditions:
- Pregnancy or desire for future pregnancy
- Potential for further growth (e.g., adolescents)
- Pre-existing local or systemic infection. Treat the infection with the appropriate antiseptics and/or antibiotics to eliminate the infection before placing the Restorelle M, L, or XL, Restorelle Y, or Restorelle Y Contour mesh
- Taking anticoagulant therapy
- Any condition, including known or suspected pelvic pathology, which could compromise implant or implant placement
- Sensitivity/allergy to polypropylene
Warnings & Precautions
It is the responsibility of the physician to advise the prospective patients or their representatives, prior to surgery, of the warnings and precautions associated with the use of this product and the associated surgical risks.
The effectiveness of Restorelle Y Contour has not been validated by a prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Warnings
Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour mesh should only be used by physicians familiar with the surgical procedures and techniques involving non-absorbable mesh and who have adequate education and experience in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.
A thorough assessment of each patient should be made to determine the suitability of a synthetic mesh procedure.
The patient should be counseled that alternative prolapse treatments may be appropriate, and the reason for choosing a surgical mesh procedure should be explained.
Obtain patient consent prior to surgery and ensure that the patient has an understanding of the postoperative risks and potential complications of transabdominal mesh surgery.
Patient counseling should include a discussion that the mesh to be implanted is a permanent implant and that some complications associated with the implanted mesh may require additional surgery; repeat surgery may not resolve these complications. Serious adverse tissue responses or infection may require removal of mesh, and complete removal of the mesh may not always be possible. Individuals may have varying degrees of collagen laydown that may result in scarring.
Patient Warnings
As with all surgical procedures, patients with certain underlying conditions may be more susceptible to postoperative bleeding, impaired blood supply, compromised/delayed healing, or other complications and adverse events.
The risks and benefits of using Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour should be considered in patients with: • Age-related underlying conditions • Autoimmune disease • Coagulation disorder • Connective tissue disorder • Debilitated or immunocompromised state • Diabetes • Pelvic radiation therapy or chemotherapy • Physical characteristics (e.g., body mass index) • Smoking-related underlying conditions • Urinary tract anomalies.
Any future pregnancy could negate the benefits of this surgical procedure. Patients should report any bleeding, pain, abnormal vaginal discharge or sign of infection that occur at any time.
Procedure Warnings
Avoid placing excessive tension on the Restorelle M, L and XL, Restorelle Y, and Restorelle Y Contour mesh implant during placement and adjustment to maintain mesh integrity.
There should be an appropriate margin of mesh extending beyond the fixation points.
Inadequate fixation of the mesh material to the pelvic tissue may lead to failure of the repair and recurrence of the prolapse.
Procedure Precautions
Use caution to avoid neurovascular injury. Observe patient for any signs of abnormal bleeding or clinical signs of nerve damage.
Potential Complications
Adverse events are known to occur with transabdominal synthetic mesh procedures and implants. Adverse events following mesh implantation may be de novo, persistent, worsening, transient, or permanent.
Adverse events may include but are not limited to: • Abscess (acute or delayed) • Adhesion/scar formation • Allergy, hypersensitivity or other immune reaction • Bleeding, hemorrhage or hematoma • Bowel Related (Bowel obstruction, Constipation and/or defecatory dysfunction, Fecal incontinence and/or anal sphincter incompetence, Ileus) • Dehiscence • Delayed wound healing • Extrusion, erosion or exposure of mesh into the vagina or other structures or organs • Fistula formation • Infection • Inflammation (acute or chronic) • Local irritation • Mesh migration • Necrosis • Pain Related (De novo and/or worsening dyspareunia, Neuromuscular symptoms (acute or chronic), Pain (acute or chronic), Partner pain and/or discomfort during intercourse) • Perforation or injury of soft tissue (e.g., ligaments, muscles, nerves, vessels), structures, or organs (e.g., bowel, rectum, bladder, urethra, ureters, vagina) • Seroma • Suture erosion • Urinary Related (Bladder storage dysfunction (e.g., increased daytime frequency, urgency, nocturia, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence), Ureteral obstruction, Urinary tract infection, Voiding symptoms (e.g., dysuria, urinary retention, incomplete emptying, straining, positional voiding, weak stream) • Vaginal Related (De novo or worsening prolapse in untreated compartment, Granulation tissue formation, Palpable mesh (patient and/or partner), Recurrent prolapse, Sexual dysfunction, Vaginal discharge (abnormal), Vaginal scarring, tightening, rigidity, shortening and/or contracture.
The occurrence of adverse events may require one or more revision surgeries, including removal of the mesh. Complete removal of the mesh may not always be possible, and additional surgeries may not always fully correct the complications. There may be unresolved pain with or without mesh explantation.
