Bladder injury during trans-obturator tape surgery in a patient with previous colposuspension: is there a connection?
Bladder injuries are quite rare and complex complications of transobturator tapes in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, with very few published cases. The authors present a case report and discuss possible injury mechanisms and the role of cystoscopy in this setting. ⋯ In patients with previous incontinence surgical treatments, cystoscopy at the time of surgery should be considered to exclude and treat eventual injuries, in order to avoid future complications.
