Long-Term Outcomes After Repair of Transurethral Perforation of Midurethral Sling

Conclusions: Urethral perforation represents a significant complication after MUS placement. Many patients continue to have incontinence despite the use of physical therapy/salvage sling placement. Furthermore, subjective outcomes and quality of life do not seem to improve over time. Because of the rarity of urethral perforation, our small series is notable given the absence of reported data that include prospective, long-term follow-up with validated questionnaire evaluation.
