Sacrocolpopexy treats a prolapse of the upper end of the vagina (the vault), which often follows a hysterectomy, by fixing the vault to the bottom of the spine with a strip of mesh.

In NICE IPG583, mesh sacrocolpopexy outperformed repair through the vagina using the woman's own tissue, with an objective cure rate of 75% compared with 62% at 1 to 2.5 years and prolapse returning in 19% compared with 34% at 1 to 2 years.

NICE guidance IPG583 found sacrocolpopexy with mesh effective but with serious, well-recognised safety concerns, including mesh eroding into the vagina, and advises that only specialists perform it, with cases recorded on a registry.

The same NICE review found mesh-related complications in 4% of women against 1% after own-tissue repair; in one series mesh wore through in 1% by 12 months and 3% by 60 months, and 2% had a bowel blockage.

Find out how often the surgeon does this operation, which mesh product is planned and whether an own-tissue repair is a reasonable option for you.
