Mesh erosion into bladder after transobturator prolapse repair

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present three cases of mesh erosion into the bladder revealed from 5 to 36 months after cystocele repairs with Perigee® and Prolift®, respectively. The initial procedures were in two of the cases complicated by perforation of the bladder during the dissection. We describe different ways of treating this serious complication. Although these cases are anecdotal, it might be prudent not to proceed with the mesh procedure in cases of accidental opening of the bladder during the dissection.
