Abstract
We present a case of a 57-year-old woman who sustained bladder erosion with extension to the left ureter after a mesh-augmented recurrent cystocele repair. The persistence of the eroding mesh eventually necessitated a partial cystectomy and distal left ureterectomy, using a Boari flap technique.
