[Management of serious infectious complications of transobturator suburethral tape: report of 2 cases].
Suburethral TVT tape has become immensely popular since its invention in 1995. A new transobturator surgical approach was proposed in 2001, resulting in a modification of the quality of the tape available from various suppliers. The authors present 2 cases of obturator foramen abscess related to suburethral Uratape, occurring a long time after the procedure and requiring complete removal of the tape. These infections can be prevented by using good quality tape, which must be made from monofilament large-mesh woven polypropylene. The tape must be completely removed as early as possible in the case of vaginal erosion, even asymptomatic, via a transobturator approach, if necessary.
