Abstract:

The management of prolonged urinary retention following pubovaginal sling surgery typically involves transvaginal urethrolysis for anatomical urethral obstruction. Brubaker [1] recently reported on urethral sphincter abnormalities as a cause of postoperative urinary retention following either Burch suspension or a pubovaginal sling procedure. We report a case of functional urethral obstruction and detrusor acontractility following pubovaginal sling surgery that was successfully treated by botulinum A toxin urethral sphincter injection.
