Abstract
Synthetic mesh is often utilised for reinforcement in pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Mesh erosion to surrounding structures is a recognised complication following sacrocolpopexy, but translocation to the vagina is more common. We report an unusual case of delayed asymptomatic erosion of the mesh into the rectum 12 years after sacrocolpopexy.
