Women with POP often struggle for years trying to decide whether moving forward with surgery is the right decision. What is most important is not focusing on the right or wrong of choosing surgery, but simply following your individual path to understand your body and unique needs in a time frame that works for you.

PMEG are still having to be done today. With the number of PMEG being performed, and now with increasing reimbursement. Hopeful it is now at a point that it make sense for Medical Device Companies to invest the money to bring more industry produced device forward? Let me send a shout out to GORE with TAMBE and Cook with their custom programs. Both these companies are trying but from a community based Vascular surgeon standpoint I think they are all falling short of the finish line. TAMBE pivotal trial saw a 75%screen failure. We have yet to see published results of this pivotal study. We need to know Branch Patency rates, reintervention rates, SCI rates and 30day/1yr mortality rates. Is TAMBE a device for everyone? Cook’s Fenestrated platform have been around since the beginning and now there are hydrides of Branch and Fenestration. But it’s custom and takes 6-8 week to build if the anatomy is right. This is why recent papers show still a 2:1 ration of PMEG over CMD. We need to move away from fitting the graft to the patient or having a fixed anatomical configuration graft that only fits 50% of patients (E-side, TAMBE, T branch). WE NEED TO LOOK AT NONANITOMICAL BASED DESIGNS. Designs that take into consideration ease of use, anatomical conformability and the need for future extension as we all know aneurysm disease is progressive. Designs that enable a less skilled less practiced surgeon to provide the same care as the most skilled the most practiced surgeons.
