BACKGROUND: Synthetic materials are being used increasingly in reconstructive pelvic surgery. Multifilament polypropylene mesh in particular has been associated with healing abnormalities and other postoperative complications. This article describes an atypical infection presenting as a draining sinus tract to the lower extremity after intravaginal slingplasty.
CASE: An otherwise healthy 75-year-old-woman presented with recurrent leg cellulitis 18 months after posterior intravaginal slingplasty for vaginal vault prolapse. A 35-cm fistulous tract draining from the pelvis to the lower thigh was identified. The patient underwent surgical debridement and was treated with 12 weeks of intravenous antibiotics with complete healing and no recurrence of symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Complications associated with the multifilament mesh used in the intravaginal slingplasty tunneler device include pain, erosion, localized abscess, and genitourinary fistula.
