  • Title: Urethral erosion of transobturator male sling.
    Author: Harris SE, Guralnick ML, O'Connor RC.
    Journal: Urology; 2009 Feb; 73(2):443.e19-20. PubMed ID: 18400275.
    Abstract:
    The transobturator male sling has been introduced as an alternative to other surgical methods for the treatment of mild to moderate postprostatectomy stress urinary incontinence. We report the first published case of mesh erosion into the urethra observed 5 months after placement. The patient was treated with suprapubic tube urinary diversion, suburethral sling explantation, and buccal mucosal grafting of the urethral defect.
