[Recurrence of stress urinary incontinence after tension-free vaginal tape and childbirth].

Retropubic or transobturator insertions of suburethral tapes are the new gold standard surgical procedure for female stress urinary incontinence. Some women of childbearing age can be treated by a suburethral tape. There are at present no sufficient data to recommend a mode of delivery rather than another in these patients. We report the case of a young woman, cured of her urinary incontinence by a suburethral tape. A recurrence occurred after childbirth by vaginal route. A second suburethral tape made it possible to restore the continence. The patient became again pregnant. A preventive caesarean section was quite as ineffective to preserve the continence.
