Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Female Pelvic Medicine

Background:

  • Midurethral sling procedures are increasingly common for treating stress urinary incontinence.
  • While generally safe, potential complications exist, including rare instances of sling erosion or pelvic abscess.

Observation:

  • This case report describes a rare complication following a midurethral sling procedure.
  • An abscess was identified within the wall of the urinary bladder.

Findings:

  • The abscess formation occurred seven months after the patient underwent a midurethral sling procedure.
  • This represents the first documented instance of an intravesical abscess secondary to this surgery.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the known spectrum of rare complications associated with midurethral slings.
