Abstract
Currently, a mid-urethral sling is the standard of care for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. However, complications can occur that are unique to polypropylene mesh such as mesh exposure, perforation, or contracture. Other complications such as de novo urgency and/or urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), urinary tract infection, and/or urinary obstruction can also occur. The diagnosis of these complications requires a high index of suspicion, and treatment is critical as these complications can be quite morbid. As such, this review will discuss the most recent literature regarding the intraoperative and post-operative evaluation and management of mid-urethral sling complications.
