Suprapubic-assisted Transurethral Excision of a Vaginal Mesh Eroded Into the Bladder

Suprapubic-assisted Transurethral Excision of a Vaginal Mesh Eroded Into the Bladder

A 56-year-old woman with irritative voiding symptoms and recurrent urinary infections was found to have erosion into the bladder of a tension-free vaginal tape placed 61 months before. To achieve radical excision, a 26Fr Amplatz sheath was placed suprapubically under endoscopic vision. A rigid nephr...
