Summary:This is a retrospective analysis of 169 consecutive patients who underwent the abdominovaginal sacral colpoperineopexy. POP-Q measurements, patient willingness to have the same surgery again, and mesh erosions were recorded during follow-up visits. Patients whose erosion responded to office excision were defined as having minor mesh erosion. Patients with persistent erosions requiring outpatient surgical excisions were defined as having major mesh erosion. For the 122 patients with 12-month follow-up, all POP-Q points improved (p
