Pregnancy and delivery following tension-free vaginal tape

Abstract

The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) has become an increasingly popular, minimally invasive surgical treatment for urodynamic stress incontinence. As a consequence of its popularity, more women of childbearing age are undergoing surgery, and thus the incidence of pregnancy following surgery is likely to increase. We report two cases of unplanned pregnancy following TVT, both of which remained continent following delivery.
