Unusual site of graft erosion after abdominal sacrocervicopexy.

Large fasciomuscular damage of the feminine pelvic floor resulting in pelvic organ prolapse constitutes a challenge for surgical reconstruction.Between 2005 and 2010, ten women aged 47-75 years were treated by abdominoperineal implantation of polypropylene mesh for modified sacral perineocolporectopexy and subsequently followed up. They were suffering from enterocele (9), genital prolapse (8), descending perineum (5), rectal prolapse (4), and rectocele (3). Five women were incontinent (mean Wexner 9) and six had incomplete rectal evacuation. Defecography revealed enterocele III (5) and II (4). Magnetic resonance (MR) diagnosed descending perineum in five patients (mean 3.8 cm).Permanent reconstruction of the pelvic floor and remission of organ prolapse was achieved at 12-months of follow-up in all except one patient. There were two small vaginal mesh erosions and one hematoma within the pelvic floor. Improvement at rectal emptying and anal incontinence (mean Wexner 4) were found.Modified sacral perineocolporectopexy is effective in the treatment of complex pelvic floor anatomical defects and organ prolapse. Improvements in rectal emptying, pelvic feeling of heaviness, and dyspareunia were achieved. The procedure was safe and characterized by good implant tolerance and a low rate of complications.
