%0 Journal Article %T TWO CASES OF BLADDER PROLENE TAPE EXPOSURE AFTER TVT PROCEDURE %A M. Tamburello %A V. Farruggia %A S.M. Rubino %J Urogynaecologia International Journal %D 2010 %I %R 10.4081/uij.2002.9 %X Two cases of bladder exposure of TVT sling material at 23 and 12 months after the implantation are reported. In both cases the urinary problems developed immediately after the TVT procedure and only few millimetres of one arm of the sling were exposed into the bladder. It is assumed therefore that the graft was inserted into the bladder lumen or into the bladder wall during the procedure rather than rejected. The whole sling was removed and both patients were cured of dysuria but in one recurrence of stress incontinence was noted. %K tension free vaginal tape %K tape exposure %K Prolene %U http://www.urogynaecologia.it/index.php/uij/article/view/38
