Case series of mesh migration after rectopexy surgery for rectal prolapse.

Mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse can cause some serious mesh-related complications. Mesh migration into close viscera following rectopexy is rare. We report three cases of mesh migration after mesh rectopexy treated in our unit. The first patient presented with purulent discharge from the buttock 15 years after the rectopexy, the second patient presented with abdominal pain and pneumaturia also 15 years after the rectopexy and the third patient presented 22 years after the rectopexy with vaginal discharge. Diagnosis was made by physical examination, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, cystoscopy or rectoscopy. The three patients underwent total removal of the meshes without any complications.
