Transvaginal mesh (TVM) surgery is an effective treatment option for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

We herein present the first report of such an endometrial cancer, diagnosed well after TVM surgery for POP, and the use of laparoscopic surgery to conduct a simple total hysterectomy to treat it.
