OBJECTIVE:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concomitant hysterectomy at the time of abdominal sacral colpoperineopexy on the risk of mesh erosion with the use of type 1 polypropylene mesh. STUDY DESIGN:: This was a retrospective case control study. All cases of vaginal mesh erosion (n = 31) were compared with matched control cases (n = 93) in a 3:1 ratio. Demographic data, concomitant procedures, and postoperative complications were compared between groups with the use of 2-sample Student t test and Pearson Χ test. RESULTS:: The odds ratio of a vaginal mesh erosion was no different for those who underwent a hysterectomy at the time of abdominal sacral colpoperineopexy (odds ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence interval, 0.41–2.18; P = .899) when potential confounders were similar between groups. CONCLUSION:: Hysterectomy at the time of abdominal sacral colpoperineopexy is not a risk factor for vaginal mesh erosion with the use of type 1 polypropylene mesh.
