A thorough literature review of midurethral tape erosions and, in particular, transobturator tape erosions was performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 46\u2010year\u2010old woman with urodynamic stress incontinence underwent trans obturator tape insertion. Eight weeks later she developed vaginal discharge and was subsequently diagnosed with a left lateral vaginal wall tape erosion. The eroded section was excised under general anaesthetic. Two weeks later she presented with a large right sided groin abscess which required incision, drainage and debridement of necrotic areas of gracillis and adductor muscles. Short term results following trans obturator tape insertion report excellent efficacy rates (90\u201396% after 1 year), however there is a lack of long term data on safety and efficacy. Current literature on transobturator tape erosion is scanty and reported rates range from 1.9\u20137% depending on the tape inserted. Tape erosion commonly presents with vaginal discharge, bleeding or dyspareunia and several methods of management have been reported including conservative management, excision of the eroded section or removal of the entire tape.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Groin abscess following tape erosion is a serious complication resulting in further surgery and months of morbidity for the woman. Prompt management of tape erosion is essential to minimise such complications and more data is required on the long term efficacy and safety of transobturator tapes. Neurourol.
