[Chronic pelvic pain as a complication of cystourethropexy with tension free vaginal tape. Case report]. / Dolor pélvico crónico como complicación de la cistouretropexia con malla libre de tensión. Presentación de un caso.

OBJECTIVE: To report an interesting case of a rare complication of cystourethropexy, as well as its precise diagnosis and results after treatment. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of the patients as well as their operative report and she underwent outpatient follow-up for the following six months. We descriptively report the findings. RESULTS: It is the case of a female patient presenting a foreign body rejection of a suburethral tension free vaginal tape (TVT). She complained of severe pain in the immediate postoperative period, which led to retrieval of the tape in spite of a good continence result. CONCLUSIONS: Foreign body rejection is a rare complication of vaginal tapes; it is rarely taken into account but it should be present in any exclusion diagnosis because the possibility of tape retrieval is not always associated with recurrence of the incontinence.
