Objective: To evaluate the outcome of transvaginal mesh surgery as a management of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse, in patients previously treated with sacrocolpopexy. Case report: A series of three patients who developed recurrent pelvic organ prolapse more than 9 years after sacrocolpopexy. A 50-year-old and two 77-year-old patients who presented with recurrent pelvic organ prolapse at 9, 15 and 17 years, respectively after the primary abdominal sacrocolpopexy were managed by transvaginal mesh surgery. Conclusion: Management of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse using transvaginal mesh would be an option for patients treated previously by sacrocolpopexy.
