Abstract:
The author reports a case of an abdominovaginal fistula caused by a Dacron buttress needle urethropexy. In one case this occurred 12 years after the original procedure. Inadequate identification and removal of the Dacron buttress 9 and 10 years after the original needle urethropexy may have predisposed to the development of the abdominovaginal fistula.
