Vaginal exposure of mesh used in surgery for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence is a known complication of such surgeries. Although symptomatic exposure may require treatment, evidence suggests that asymptomatic mesh exposure can be safely watched without surgery to avoid the risks and complications associated with surgery for mesh exposure. Longitudinal expectant management is a reasonable alternative.
