Abstract |
As synthetic material has evolved to improve both the efficacy and biocompatibility of suburethral slings, soft polypropylene slings are currently the gold standard for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. However, reports of complications beyond 10 years are limited and patients can nevertheless present with erosion and other complications from other sling materials that have been used in the past. We present a case of synthetic sling erosion 21 years after placement of a polytetrafluoroethylene sling (Gore-tex).
