Mesh erosion into the bladder following laparoscopic colposuspension

Abstract

A previously unreported finding of polypropylene mesh erosion into the bladder two years after laparoscopic colposuspension.

As with the vagina, synthetic mesh can erode into the bladder following urogynaecological sling procedures. Previous surgery may be a risk factor. Recurrent urinary tract infection or persistent haematuria following such a procedure should raise suspicion of mesh erosion.
