Osteomyelitis of the pubis: complication of a Stamey urethropexy.

Osteomyelitis pubis is a rare pyogenic infection of the anterior pelvis. Prior pelvic surgery is the factor that usually causes this problem. To my knowledge endoscopic urethropexy, that is the Stamey procedure, has not been reported as a predisposing cause. A case of pubic osteomyelitis following a Stamey urethropexy is reported.
