Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We report two cases of perineal cellulitis due to the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence with a trans-obturator sub-urethral tape of Uratape (Porgés). METHODS: Treatment and follow up of their complication were performed at the CHRU of Lille. RESULTS: In both cases, this complication is related to prolonged vaginal exposition of the tape. Vaginal erosion always occurs next to the silicon coated section of the tape. CONCLUSION: Such a complication has never been described yet. It shows a lack of data concerning human tissue tolerance of sub-urethral tapes constituents. Such examples should call for caution against new materials, all the more so as they have not yet been validated by large scale studies.
