Abstract

The transobturatorial vaginal tape procedure is associated with little complication rate. Bladder perforation, urethral invasion, vaginal erosion, postoperative bladder retention, de novo incontinence and retropubic pain and haematoma are the most reported complications. The aim of this article is to present an uncommon complication in a patient operated by transobturator vaginal tape with an inside–outside route.
