title: [Placement of 'mesh' should be carefully considered].
abstract: Transvaginal mesh placement has become a popular surgical treatment for prolapse. The space in which the mesh is positioned is created through an incision in the vaginal wall. The mesh is fixed in a semi-blind fashion by anchors. The number of complications reported has increased over the years; mesh erosion, which occurs in 4-19% of patients, is regarded as the most troublesome problem.
