Abstract
Mesh erosion is an unfortunate complication of abdominal sacral colpopexy. A sinus tract from the vagina to the sacrum developed in a patient after pa rtial removal of a GORE-TEX Soft Tissue Patch because of mesh erosion. Succ essful management eventually required complete removal of all GORE-TEX mate rial and resection of the sinus tract.
