Authors: Erika J. Wasenda, Charles W. Nager

Published in: International Urogynecology Journal | Issue 12/2016

Excerpt

The injection of urethral bulking agents has been reported to lead to the formation of suburethral masses [1‐3], including granulomas after injection of collagen, pseudocysts after injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid (Zuidex®), and abscesses/pseudoabscesses after injection of polyacrylamide hydrogel (Bulkamid®) and pyrolytic carbon-coated beads (Durasphere®). We could not find similar reports relating to the injection of polydimethylsiloxane (Macroplastique®; Uroplasty). We present a case of suburethral mass formation after injection of polydimethylsiloxane urethral bulking agent. …
