Transvaginal pelvic mesh implantation(TVM) is a foreign body implantation operation with intraoperative colonization of vaginal bacteria. However, the vaginal microbiome-host interaction and its influence in the mechanism of mesh exposure after TVM remains unclear. This study will enroll post-TVM patients with and without mesh exposure and use their vaginal swabs to perform TRACE-seq and cytokine analysis. The microbiome-host interactions related with mesh exposure and the changes in protein expression will be analyzed.
