Abstract

Potential native tissue anterior colporrhaphy complications are rare but include intraoperative hemorrhage and blood transfusion, genitourinary tract injury, onset of de novo SUI, and postoperative urinary retention. The risk of these complications varies from 1 to 10%. Attention to detail and intraoperative identification are imperative to reduce the risk of complications and potential patient morbidity.
