Abstract
- TVT (Tension Free Vaginal Tape) is a new simple surgical procedure, with good postoperative outcomes. However, there are possibilities of major complications, which should be considered, such as massive bleeding, bladder or bowel perforations and nerve injury. There is little information on treatment of obturator neuropathy as a result of nerve compression, or injury, caused by a more lateral placement of tape following a TVT procedure. To prevent this complication, the patient's legs should be correctly positioned, enough abduction and not exceeding 60 degrees to avoid excessive flexion.
