Rejection of stapled prosthetic mesh after laparoscopic sacropexy.
We report the first case of rejection of prosthetic mesh after laparoscopic sacropexy using a Roticulator stapler. The risk of this complication is extremely low if simple precautions are observed. Our experience suggests that the use of staples to attach the mesh to the vaginal apex should be avoided. At the end of the procedure a careful assessment should be made to ensure that the vaginal wall is intact and not penetrated by staples.
