Abstract

Currently, minimally invasive surgeries, which are often characterized by reliable and successful results, are preferred for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Although all of the currently used surgeries are minimally invasive, morbidities, including hemorrhage, voiding dysfunction, infection, pain, skin infection and erosion, and bladder injuries, are observed. We detected bladder injury in a 42-year-old female patient with complaints of burning and pain during urination who had previously undergone transobturator tape (TOT) surgery. Complete abdominal hysterectomy for a secondary myoma and a TOT procedure had been simultaneously performed 3 months prior to her presentation. Cystoscopy demonstrated a foreign body compatible with sling material in the bladder which was extracted transvaginally.
