Objective:
To describe a case of bladder neck suspensión with special reference to the complications associated with this procedure.
Methods/Results:
Herein we describe a patient who developed most of the reported associated complications following two bladder neck suspension procedures: bilateral ureteral ligation, osteitis pubis, retropubic hematoma, eventration and recurrence of urinary stress incontinence. Finally, after two reoperations, the complications were resolved and the patient is continent.
Conclusions:
Bladder neck suspension is usually associated with a low complication rate. However, associated complications may appear in the same patient, accounting for a significant morbidity.
