Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Philippine General Hospital, Manila, Philippines. Population or Sample: Women who underwent prolapse or continence procedures using mesh between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2016. Methods: Data were collected through chart review. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using Stata/MP Version 14. Continuous variables were expressed as mean (SD), and categorical variables as frequency (%). Independent t-test, Chi-square or Fisher Exact test, and univariate logistic regression were applied. P values ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. Main Outcome Measures: Incidence and associated risk factors for mesh erosion. Results: Of 165 reviewed charts, 91 met inclusion criteria. The ten-year incidence of mesh erosion was 8.79% (95% CI: 4.40%–16.80%). All erosions occurred at the anterior vagina. Only the type of procedure was significantly associated with erosion: patients who underwent anterior colporrhaphy had 23 times higher odds of mesh erosion compared with those who underwent midurethral sling or abdominal apical suspension with mesh (OR 23.33; 95% CI 2.95–184.31; p=0.003). No demographic or clinical variable showed significant correlation. Conclusions: Mesh erosion occurred in 8.79% of cases, most frequently after anterior colporrhaphy with mesh interposition. The type of procedure was the only significant risk factor. Larger prospective studies are recommended to validate these findings.
