This case report describes a postoperative complication following laparoscopic lateral suspen-sion with mesh for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in a 67-year-old woman. The pa-tient initially presented with grade III anterior vaginal prolapse and grade IV apical uterine pro-lapse. A laparoscopic lateral suspension procedure was successfully performed, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day two without complications. However, two weeks later, she experienced pelvic discomfort, and examination revealed a recurrence of the prolapse due to the failure of the right lateral arm of the mesh. The mesh was successfully reattached via a second laparoscopic procedure, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. This case highlights the po-tential for mesh dislocation postoperatively, underscoring the importance of secure mesh attach-ment to prevent recurrence of prolapse.
