ABSTRACT

Abdominal sacral colpopexy has a consistent cure rate of over 90% (40,41). It is not without complications, including the risk of rare, but potentially life-threatening, intraoperative hemorrhage (38) and a 3% to 7% incidence of vaginal mesh erosion (41). Erosions can usually be managed with vaginal excision of all visible mesh followed by partial colpocleisis (42). A small subset of patients requires multiple extirpative surgeries for complete removal of eroded mesh.
