title: Urethral prolapse after collagen injection.
abstract: A woman who was treated for intrinsic urethral sphincteric deficiency with periurethral injection of glutaraldehyde cross-linked collagen had prolapse of the urethral mucosa and recurrence of incontinence. She subsequently required surgical resection and a fascia lata sling. This is the first known occurrence of this postinjection complication.
