Abstract

We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who developed a sinus tract after a suburethral synthetic silicone mesh sling placement. After removal of the sling material with debridement and reconstruction of the suburethral tissue, fascia lata harvest with a sling to abdominal rectus fascia was performed. Silicone mesh may erode to form a sinus tract if used as suburethral sling material.
