Abstract:
We present a case of urinary retention due to bladder outlet obstruction in a pregnant patient who had a prior transobturator synthetic sling procedure for stress urinary incontinence 2 years earlier. After the sling was released at 19 weeks, the voiding dysfunction resolved, but the patient remained incontinent. This case emphasizes a potential unique complication of suburethral sling in pregnancy.
