Abstract

Although abdominal sacral colpopexy is one of the most effective procedure for treating pelvic organ prolapse, mesh erosion as complication with using synthetic mesh is at issue. Mesh erosion is influenced by mesh materials, type of procedure, concomitant hysterectomy. We experienced a case who had mesh erosion after abdominal sacral colpopexy with concomitant hysterectomy, using polypropylene mesh. So, We report this with brief review of literatures about mesh erosion.

Key Words: Mesh erosion, Abdominal sacral colpopexy, Concomitant hysterectomy
