Abstract
Most perioperative complications related to graft use can be prevented by appropriate preoperative and postoperative tissue management. Intraoperative cystoscopy should be a routine part of most pelvic reconstructive procedures. A rectal examination should be performed at the end of each surgical procedure to document rectal integrity. Under most circumstances, graft erosions can be managed without the need to remove the entire graft or jeopardizing the surgical repair.
