Development of bladder stone after tension free vaginal tape procedure: a case report

Arman Ozdemir et al. J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc. .

Abstract
in English, Turkish

We present a case of a bladder stone which formed on the intravesical portion of tension free vaginal tape material secondary to bladder perforation. 8 years previously, a tension free vaginal tape (TVT) operation was performed. The patient was referred to hospital with persistent urinary infection and urinary incontinence. An intravesical stone that had formed on the TVT sling material was detected by cystoscopy and it was removed with the sling material by a supra pubic cystostomy approach. When evaulating patients presenting with urinary symptoms after a TVT procedure, bladder complications should be kept in mind.

Mesane perforasyonuna ikincil gerilimsiz vajinal bant materyalinin intravezikal kşsmı üzerinde oluşan bir mesane taşı olgusunu sunuyoruz. Gerilimsiz vajinal bant (GVB) operasyonu 8 yıl önce yapılmıştı. Hasta sebat eden üriner enfeksiyonu ve idrar tutamama şikayeti ile hastaneye sevk edilmişti. GVB askı materyali üzerinde oluşan mesane içi taş, sistoskopi ile saptandı ve suprapubik sistostomi yaklaşımıyla askı materyaliyle çıkarıldı. Bir GVB işleminden sonra üriner semptomlarla gelen hastalar değerlendirilirken mesane komplikasyonları akılda tutulmalıdır.
