We planned tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) surgery after curing mucosal defects and completing treatment for diabetes mellitus. Anuria and pyelonephritis relapsed repeatedly due to the failure of ring pessary therapy. Surgical treatment was required emergently. We performed a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and uterosacral ligament colpo-suspension (Shull’s method). Although the vaginal apex was supported to a good position, cystocele occurred six months after the initial surgery. A TVM procedure for recurrent cystocele was performed after curing the mucosal defects, and after the improvement of glycemic control. Transvaginal native tissue repair has the advantages of low risk of ureter injury, firm colpo-suspension, and no need for mesh usage. On the other hand, it is not good at treating cystocele. Transvaginal native tissue repair should prove to be a useful surgical option for apical support without mesh.展开更多
