[Retropubic urethral suspension. A surgery "without complications"?].

OBJECTIVE

To describe a case of bladder neck suspensión with special reference to the complications associated with this procedure.

METHODS/

RESULTS

Herein we describe a patient who developed most of the reported associated complications following two bladder neck suspension procedures: bilateral ureteral ligation, osteitis pubis, retropubic hematoma, eventration and recurrence of urinary stress incontinence. Finally, after two reoperations, the complications were resolved and the patient is continent.

CONCLUSIONS

Bladder neck suspension is usually associated with a low complication rate. However, associated complications may appear in the same patient, accounting for a significant morbidity.
