Tape infection after insertion of tension-free vaginal tape is a well-known but rare complication. We report a patient who experienced a subcutaneous abscess 19 years after the surgery.
A 41-year-old woman presented with fever and lower abdominal pain. She had undergone tension-free vaginal tape insertion for stress urinary incontinence 19 years prior. She had asymptomatic dysuria. After an abscess incision and 1-week treatment with antibiotics, she underwent surgery to remove the tape and the abscess without complications.
Tension-free Vaginal Tape insertion could be a potential risk of asymptomatic dysuria, resulting in urinary tract infection. In this case, removal of tape was necessary for controlling subcutaneous abscess resulting from the presence of tension-free vaginal tape.
无张力阴道吊带置入术后发生感染是一种已知但罕见的并发症。我们报告一名患者在手术后19年出现皮下脓肿。
一名41岁女性出现发热和下腹痛。她在19年前因压力性尿失禁接受了无张力阴道吊带置入术。她有无症状性排尿困难。在脓肿切开并使用抗生素治疗1周后,她接受了手术取出吊带和脓肿,未出现并发症。
无张力阴道吊带置入可能存在无症状性排尿困难的潜在风险,进而导致尿路感染。在本病例中,为控制因无张力阴道吊带导致的皮下脓肿,取出吊带是必要的。
