Abstract
- Most of anti-incontinence surgeries bear the risk of postoperative complication such as voiding dysfunction due to urethral obstruction. Fortunately, Tension Free Vaginal Tape(TVT) procedure has much lower incidence of postoperative urethral obstruction than other surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence. There are many reports about the surgical treatments for short-term urethral obstruction after TVT procedure. However, there are few reports on the effect of surgical releasing of the obstruction lasting for a long period. In our case, the patient had urethral obstruction for 32 months after TVT procedure and she was able to void well after surgical releasing of the tape. We suggest that releasing of the tape will be a treatment of choice for long-term urethral obstruction after TVT procedure.
