Novel approach for correction of urethral prolapse using a retropubic sling with urethral fixation.
We describe the novel management of a 68-year-old postmenopausal woman with urethral mucosal prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, and significant pelvic organ prolapse. Successful surgical management of her urethral prolapse was achieved using a retropubic suburethral sling with urethral fixation at the time of anti-incontinence and pelvic reconstructive surgery.
