The transobturator tape procedure (TOT) is a highly
effective
technique used to resolve cases of female stress
urinary
incontinence
and is a safe procedure with
relatively
few
per-operative
and early
post-operative
complications
compared to the tension free vaginal tape
(TVT). Recent studies, however, have demonstrated that
the late surgical sequelae following a TOT procedure are
relatively
common. Urethrocutaneous
fistula
is an
unusual
complication
in the female
population
that is
defined
as an abnormal
connection
between the urethra
and the skin, usually
affecting
the perineum. It may also
develop secondary to urethral strictures, repair of
hypospadias, prostate surgery, chronic untreated
periurethral abscesses, trauma etc. It is usually diagnosed
using retrograde urethrography and
fistulography.
We present a case of a 53 year old woman who developed
a urethrocutaneous
fistula
after
a TOT procedure four
years ago as a surgical treatment of female stress urinary
incontinence
which was diagnosed recently
after
presenting
various episodes of vulvar abscesses [-]
