Introduction and Hypothesis

This study was conducted to investigate the associations between baseline absolute monocyte count (AMC), absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the risk of mesh exposure following transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 206 symptomatic POP patients who underwent TVM treatment with titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (Tiloop) from June 2015 to December 2021 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Patients were classified into mesh exposure (n = 23) and non-exposure (n = 183) groups. Baseline hematological indicators, including AMC, ALC, PLR, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and the prognostic nutritional index, were recorded. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the associations between these indicators and mesh-exposure risk.

Results

Mesh exposure occurred in 11.2% of the patients. Significant differences in AMC, ALC, and PLR were detected between the exposure and non-exposure groups. RCS analysis revealed inverse linear associations between AMC and ALC and mesh exposure risk and a positive linear association for the PLR. Lower AMC (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.424; 95% CI 0.228–0.786) and ALC (aHR = 0.422; 95% CI 0.255–0.698) were associated with increased mesh exposure risk, whereas higher PLR (aHR = 2.170; 95% CI 1.486–3.169) was associated with increased risk.

Conclusion

Low AMC and ALC and elevated PLR were independently associated with an increased risk of mesh exposure after TVM surgery.
