[Chronic pelvic pain as a complication of cystourethropexy with tension free vaginal tape. Case report].
OBJECTIVE
To report an interesting case of a rare complication of cystourethropexy, as well as its precise diagnosis and results after treatment.


METHODS
We reviewed the medical records of the patients as well as their operative report and she underwent outpatient follow-up for the following six months. We descriptively report the findings.


RESULTS
It is the case of a female patient presenting a foreign body rejection of a suburethral tension free vaginal tape (TVT). She complained of severe pain in the immediate postoperative period, which led to retrieval of the tape in spite of a good continence result.


CONCLUSIONS
Foreign body rejection is a rare complication of vaginal tapes; it is rarely taken into account but it should be present in any exclusion diagnosis because the possibility of tape retrieval is not always associated with recurrence of the incontinence.
