Thigh and Leg Abscesses Post-transobturator tape Insertion with Residual Mesh Migration: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion, efforts, and coughing or sneezing in the absence of detrusor contraction. It is the most common type of urinary incontinence in women. Midurethral slings are one of the most popular surgical options to treat patients with SUI. Transobturator tapes (TOTs) are one of the mid-urethral slings with an excellent success and rare complications rate. Yet, there are some reported rare and serious complications. In this study, we report one case who underwent TOT insertion then developed a serious complication, discussing the management strategies and outcome.
