This incident is being reported as the literature stated that macroplastique was removed in addition to the caruncle.Authors of the report state that is suspected that the caruncle dragged the macroplastique material out through the urethral meatus which is why it was present in excised material.It is unclear if all macroplastique was removed.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
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.
