[Section of intravesical TVT tape by a suprapubic trocar].
Since its first description in 1995, treatment of female urinary incontinence by TVT has become a routine procedure. The ascending retropubic approach can lead to a number of complications. Bladder trauma is observed in 2% to 20% of cases depending on the series. They do not have any repercussions if they are diagnosed and repaired intraoperatively, but, when they are detected later, they raise problems of diagnosis and management. The authors report 2 cases in which a combination of cystoscopy and laparoscopy was used to section intravesical TVT.
