Rectal Mesh Erosion After Robotic Sacrocolpopexy

Abstract

In Brief We report an unusual case of rectal mesh erosion presenting 16 months after robotic sacrocolpopexy. The patient initially underwent a robotic sacrocolpopexy, lysis of adhesions, midurethral sling, and posterior colporrhaphy for symptomatic grade 2 pelvic organ prolapse and urodynamic stress incontinence. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful. Sixteen months later, an anterior 2 × 2-cm rectal mesh erosion was noted on the colonoscopy performed when she presented with hematochezia. We report an unusual case of rectal mesh erosion presenting 16 months after robotic sacrocolpopexy. An anterior 2 × 2-cm rectal mesh erosion was noted on colonoscopy performed when the patient presented with painless hematochezia.
