title: Removal of a missed polypropylene tape by a combined transurethral and transabdominal endoscopic approach.
abstract: Surgical intervention for bladder perforation caused by application of a transvaginally placed polypropylene tape is rare. Open as well as endoscopic procedures for removal from the bladder have been described earlier. In this case report we describe the removal of an intravesical polypropylene tape by a combined transurethral and transabdominal endoscopic approach 3 months after the initial surgical procedure.
