The present study aims to introduce laparoscopic treatment by the interposition of polypropylene mesh for a pelvic organ prolapse in females following radical cystectomy for treating muscle‐invasive bladder carcinoma. Case presentation The patients included two women aged 77 and 79 years with symptomatic enterocele following radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. We performed laparoscopic sacrospinous colpopexy using polypropylene and polypropylene/ePTFE composite meshes. Conclusion No recurrent prolapse occurred during 26 and 14 months of follow‐up after the operation. No severe perioperative complications were noted. This is a first report on cases of laparoscopic sacrospinous colpopexy for post‐cystectomy pelvic organ prolapse. Our procedure could be safely performed in two patients with post‐cystectomy pelvic organ prolapse.
