title: A Giant Female Urethral Stone: An Unusual Complication after MidUrethral Sling Operation.
abstract: Primary giant urethral stones are extremely rare in females, and they usually appear in the case of congenital diverticula, not as complications of surgery. Herein, we report a 54-year-old woman with a giant female urethral stone developed after tension-free obturator tape procedure. To our knowledge, this is the first late complication reported in the literature after midurethral sling procedure.
