Patients\u2019 charts and follow-up data were entered into a computerized database and data analysis performed to search for mesh erosion\/complications\/surgery. <i>Results:<\/i> 12 patients were diagnosed and treated for mesh erosion: in 10 of 179, surgery was performed in our department and the mesh used was polypropylene (PP): 3 after colposacropexy (CSP) (5.5%), 5 after CSP + hysterectomy (Hys) (6.5%), and 2 after hysterosacropexy (HSP) (3.9%); in 1 case, Gore-tex mesh was used, and another case had undergone CSP in another hospital using PP mesh. Time to mesh erosion ranged from 2 to 66 months (mean 22.9), with 4 erosions (33%) within 6 months of POP repair. In 4 asymptomatic patients (33%) erosion was incidentally discovered during clinical check-ups at 4, 31, 36 and 66 months. Five cases (41%) presented with occasional vaginal bleeding, associated with dyspareunia in 2. Treatments were individualized but in all cases conservative treatment was unable to resolve the complications and surgery was needed. At a mean follow-up of 57 months (range 18\u2013120) after surgical treatment all patients were asymptomatic and free from erosions. <i>Conclusions:<\/i> The surgeon who approaches management of complications after abdominal\/laparoscopic sacropexy should possess a comprehensive understanding of pelvic floor anatomy and surgical skills in order to individualize the management of such complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000324243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,23]],"date-time":"2011-06-23T10:11:03Z","timestamp":1308823863000},"page":"419-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Managing Mesh Erosion after Abdominal Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair: Ten Years\u2019 Experience in a Single Center"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Elisabetta","family":"Costantini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Zucchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Lazzeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Del Zingaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Vianello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Porena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067%2Fmob.2003.101"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.AOG.0000139514.90897.07"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0002-9378%2896%2970084-4"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs001920050066"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-006-0099-5"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000019694"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.eururo.2006.08.034"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000230022"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0029-7844%2803%2900515-5"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1471-0528.1994.tb13154.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0029-7844%2898%2900330-5"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00192-010-1156-7"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067%2Fmob.2002.129160"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ajog.2005.07.066"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000176038"}],"container-title":["Urologia Internationalis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/324243","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/324243","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T19:29:07Z","timestamp":1745436547000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000324243"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,22]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000324243","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-1138","1423-0399"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0042-1138","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0399","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}}}
