| Abstract: | OBJECTIVES: To report and prevent a serious complication of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure. CASE REPORT: One day after a TVT procedure, an emergency CT scan showed adhesion of intestinal loops with a pneumoperitoneum. The patient had previously had intra- and retroperitoneal surgery with a sacral cervicopexy and a Burch colposuspension. CONCLUSION: In such a case of previous surgery, a CT scan may be useful before a TVT procedure. |
