摘要
Mesh erosions through vaginal mucosa as well as the urethra following TVT procedures have been reported but are rare. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who was found to have mesh erosion through vaginal mucosa 8 weeks after her TVT procedure, apparently secondary to a twist in the tape. Excision of approximately 5 mm of tape encompassing the twist was accomplished without difficulty, and allowed for complete healing of the vaginal mucosa and resolution of the patient's pain and irritative voiding symptoms.
