Abstract
None of the studies that represent the specific female population submitted to laparoscopic promontofixation with transrectal mesh erosion describe the need for more than one intervention or digestive resection [9-12]. Physicians dealing with patients submitted to pelvic reconstructive surgeries with mesh placement should be aware of transrectal and other nonvaginal erosions of mesh, even being rare events. Moreover, they should perform an active search for unusual gynecologic and anorectal signs and symptoms. Most importantly, patients undergoing mesh repair procedures must be warned of the risks of the surgery, including the possibility of several subsequent interventions.
