In an effort to reduce morbidity, improve surgical outcomes and reduce the complexity of these operations, we used a growing number of synthetic mesh repairs and biomaterials used tissue from cadaver or animal.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of complications associated with the use of polypropylene mesh in women undergoing colposacropexy.

Material And Methods: Retrospective, observational and descriptive study conducted at the Hospitalde Ginecología y Obstetricia 3 IMSS (Mexico) between 1 January 2006 and 15 February 2013.
