This incident was published in a journal article.A patient with a background os stress urinary incontinence underwent numerous pelvic surgeries including colposuspension, tension-free vaginal tape (tvt) and macroplastique.She developed bleeding from a 3cm urethral caruncle, which did not improve with vaginal oestrogens.She proceeded to have a surgical excision of the caruncle.Histology revealed a foreign material with surrounding foreign-body-type multinucleate giant cell reaction.The foreign material was compatible with macroplastique meaning that some macroplastique was removed as part of the excision of the caruncle.
