Abstract
In a study between February 2006 and April 2009, of 230 consecutive patients treated with the AdVance sling, 21.3% (49 patients) had acute urinary retention after removal of the catheter. One patient (0.4%) had urinary infection with fever 10 days after sling implantation, treated with antibiotics, and one patient (0.4%) showed local wound infection 8 days after surgery and was treated with oral antibiotics. No further treatment was necessary. One patient (0.4%) suffered chronic perineal pain and five patients (2.2%) reported mild perineal discomfort for 4–6 weeks, but these patients did not need any pain medication. One patient showed pubic symphysitis 4 months after sling implantation. During explantation there were no local signs of inflammation. Further diagnostics revealed the Guillain–Barrè syndrome as the causative pathology [1].
