title: Bladder polyps following Avaulta anterior mesh vaginal wall repair.
abstract: We present the case of a postmenopausal woman who developed bladder polyps leading to serious abdominal pain, dysuria with mucus and blood, and urinary incontinence after anterior vaginal wall repair using Avaulta anterior mesh (Bard). All of these symptoms resolved after mesh removal. This case emphasizes that not all complications of mesh are known.
