title: Voiding dysfunction after abdominoplasty--an unusual complication.
abstract: Abdominoplasty is an electively undertaken aesthetic operation mostly performed on patients after massive weight reduction. Previous case reports have demonstrated an improvement of incontinence symptoms after abdominoplasty. We report a case where urinary dysfunction occurred after refashioning of an abdominoplasty. The stress urinary incontinence got worse but what was of greater concern to her was a noticeable change of her urinary stream in an upward direction. A urethrolysis combined with an insertion of a tension-free vaginal tape and an anterior colporrhaphy was performed. After the operation, stress urinary incontinence improved and she reported that her urine stream reverted towards a normal direction.
