Title : impact on urinary incontinence after management of complications related to a retropubic midureteral sling.The main aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of complications with regard to the mus procedure with a specific focus on pour and vaginal exposure, the treatment of these complications, and the potential impact on the efficacy of the mus procedure.A review of the medical records of women undergoing mus procedures from 1 january 2017 to 31 december 2021 (n = 329).The only mus system used at the department is the tvt exact.The reported complications included bladder perforations (n=5), infections (n=16), hematoma (n=3), pain (n=6), exposure to vaginal mucosa (n=8),persistent stress urinary incontinence (n=3), postoperative urinary retention >24 h (n=23)and de novo urgency (n=10).In conclusion, mobilization of the mus must be considered the optimal treatment for pour when cisc fails.It is the most effective intervention with the best effect on pour and the lowest risk of incontinence.Concerning vaginal exposure, a trial of recovering should be attempted as the risk of incontinence when undergoing a partial removal of the mus is considerable.
