The reason for the pause is to establish a process ensuring mesh is used in a manner that minimises harm linked to the procedure and maximises its benefits to patients. The pause is expected to be in place for a number of months while work is underway to ensure safety measures are implemented. The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) supports the need for safety systems around the implantation of mesh sling to treat SUI. The College welcomes government action to credential surgeons, introduce a pelvic floor registry, develop a structured informed consent process for patients and establish regional multidisciplinary meetings.
