Isolated Mesh Associated Pain Syndrome (I-MAPS) is a challenging complication linked to pelvic mesh devices used for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Patients suffering from I-MAPS often experience persistent pain localized to the mesh implant site without other common mesh-related complications such as erosion or infection. Managing this condition requires careful consideration of treatment options to balance pain relief, functional outcomes, and risks. This article explores the various treatment pathways for I-MAPS, including conservative management, surgical interventions, and emerging therapies. We will examine their effectiveness, potential risks, and patient outcomes, drawing on recent research and expert opinions to provide a comprehensive overview.
