Abstract
A 60-year-old woman without medical history developed after a Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) procedure a necrotizing fasciitis and an abscess. After unadapted initial treatment, surgical procedure revealed 2Â bowel perforations caused by the sling. Treatment was achieved by total mesh removal, bowel repair, necrosis excision and vacuum-assisted closure system. This is the first case report about the association of necrotizing fasciitis and double bowel perforations after TVT procedure. Any critical sepsis or with unsatisfactory evolution after retropubic sub-urethral sling has to make look for a digestive wound.
