Fifty‐two women with vault prolapse underwent infracoccygeal sacropexy. There was a mesh erosion incidence of 21.1% at a mean time of 20 weeks. This rate is higher than the rates for single‐filament meshes used for suburethral slings. This study suggests that multifilament meshes should no longer be used due to the unacceptably high erosion rate.
