An intravesical exposed mesh may result from an unrecognized bladder perforation or from bladder erosion after a mid-urethral sling procedure performed to treat a stress urinary incontinence. Introduction of trans-obturator tape and tension-free vaginal tape-obturator techniques have minimized, but not eliminated, the risk of bladder injury. The suggested management of the above complication is removal of the polypropylene mesh from the bladder. Herein, we describe a case of partial intravesically-exposed sling, first diagnosed by trans-labial ultrasound, confirmed by cystourethroscopy and successful treated with endoscopic transurethral resection.
