Summary
Transobturator tape (TOT) technique is one of the most commonly used techniques in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) treatment. The most common complications of this technique in the long term are pain and dyspareunia. Bladder perforation is not a common complication of the TOT technique but, regardless, it is a catastrophic complication, therefore, routine cystoscopy should be done in this technique. In this report, we present a woman who presented with severe groin pain and was diagnosed with lithified sling material in her bladder. The patient was managed with open cystolithotomy and mesh excision.
