  • Title: Complications of retropubic bladder neck suspension.
    Author: Bihrle W, Tarantino AF.
    Journal: Urology; 1990 Mar; 35(3):213-4. PubMed ID: 2180172.
    Abstract:
    Seven women who underwent the Stamey endoscopic bladder neck suspension performed by different urologists at a variety of institutions were evaluated at the Lahey Clinic Medical Center. Two to 36 months after operation, each woman sought medical attention because of complaints of pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or groin with or without urinary frequency and urgency. Endoscopic examination revealed an acute mucosal inflammatory reaction, perforating sutures or Dacron pledgets, and formation of calculi around a suture. In each patient, sutures or pledgets were removed endoscopically with resolution of presenting complaints.
