Abstract

Most surgeons have a preferred method for placing a minimally invasive suburethral sling for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. However, unique clinical circumstances may necessitate altering this approach. We describe two cases for which a retropubic approach to sling placement may be contraindicated.
