A novel approach to identification and excision of a persistent sinus tract following a rectus fascial sling: A case report

A novel approach to identification and excision of a persistent sinus tract following a rectus fascial sling: A case report

Background: While Gore-Tex® sutures have excellent handling and cause minimal fibroblast activity and a less inflammatory response compared with other materials, they carry a risk of persistent sinus tract formation. Case: A patient underwent an autologous rectus fascial sling using Gore-Tex® and we...
