Complications des bandelettes sous-urétrales dans la chirurgie de l'incontinence urinaire d'effort féminine

With the evolution of novel approaches to female urinary incontinence treatment, a new set of complications are being described. These complications are relative to the operative indication, the trajectory of needles, characteristics of used materials and the surgeon's experience. These complications, mostly minor, require an early diagnosis and an adequate management. Data on mini-slings are insufficient, so only complications of suburethral retropubic and transobturator tapes will be detailed. Our objective is to facilitate the identification of modifiable risk factors of surgery for female stress urinary incontinence complications and to propose recommendations for the use of suburethral sling procedures and prevention and management of their potential complications.
