Tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) is gaining popularity as a treatment of choice for women with stress urinary incontinence. It is a minimally invasive procedure with reported short operative and postoperative hospitalization times and low complication rates. We describe urethral erosion of a TVT sling material in a 55-year-old woman who presented with immediate postoperative urinary retention. The sling material was surgically removed and the urethral defect repaired, with the patient continent at the 3-month follow-up visit. A mid-urethral synthetic sling such as the TVT can erode into the urethra.
无张力阴道吊带术（TVT）作为压力性尿失禁女性的首选治疗方法正日益受到欢迎。它是一种微创手术，据报道手术时间和术后住院时间短，并发症发生率低。我们描述了一名55岁女性TVT吊带材料发生尿道侵蚀的病例，该患者术后立即出现尿潴留。手术取出吊带材料并修复尿道缺损，患者在3个月的随访中尿控良好。像TVT这样的尿道中段合成吊带可能会侵蚀入尿道。
