title: Extremely delayed presentation of an enterocutaneous fistula after Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure.
abstract: A 77-year-old woman with a history of urinary stress incontinence, who underwent urethral suspension surgery (Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz procedure) 10 years earlier, presented with a suprapubic abdominal wall abscess. She was found to have an enterocutaneous fistula. The patient underwent an exploratory laparoscopy. The involved bowel segment was resected. A unique feature of the present case is the formation of an enterocutaneous fistula with an extremely long latency, which has not been previously reported in the literature.
