title: [Late rejection of Mersylene mesh used for promontory fixation with colonic obstruction].
abstract: We describe a case of colonic obstruction in a 48-year-old woman, 3. 5 years after surgery for genito-urinary prolapse. The causal agent was the Mersylene mesh used for promontory fixation. Late rejection of this kind of prosthesis has been described previously, but such a digestive complication is exceptional.
