The International Urogynecological Association/International Continence Society classification of complications of prosthesis and graft insertion: Pros and cons and a review of the literature
Journal Title: Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association - Year 2020, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) and the International Continence Society (ICS) and the Joint IUGA/ICS Working Group on Complications Terminology formulated a standardized terminology and classification of complications related to the use of prosthesis in female pelvic floor surgeries. It was mainly purposed to globally standardize the complications and related definitions in order to obtain factual rates and to enable comparisons and surgical audits. Although this unique classification has frequently been cited in the literature, some concerns have been raised against its complexity of use and inter- and intraobserver variability. This review aimed to discuss the rationale behind the IUGA/ICS complication classification system, underline the opposing views, and provide the Turkish version of an online calculator facilitating the universal coding to increase the utility.
