Vaginal hemorrhage from transobturator sling controlled with QuikClot combat gauze.

A 42-year-old woman underwent an outside-in transobturator sling procedure, with subsequent venous hemorrhage. Two rolls of Combat Gauze were placed intravaginally and taken out on postoperative day 2 with good hemostasis. Despite careful technique, hemorrhage is a known complication of midurethral slings. Advanced hemostatic dressings may provide hemorrhage control and avoid the need for surgical intervention. After an extensive literature review, we present the first case of QuikClot Combat Gauze used as a hemostatic agent due to vaginal hemorrhage.
