It is currently unknown whether an association exists between polypropylene mesh and urethral diverticulum formation following placement of polypropylene midurethral slings (MUS) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We aimed to examine the literature associating MUS with the occurrence of urethral diverticula. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Multiple online research databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and the Cochrane Library, were searched, from January 2019 to February 2019, for evidence related to the occurrence of urethral diverticula following polypropylene MUS procedures. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Four case reports were published demonstrating the occurrence of urethral diverticula following the use of polypropylene mesh for surgical treatment of SUI. Subjects of these cases were menopausal and had an elevated body mass index (BMI), recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), autoimmune conditions, or prior pelvic floor surgeries. A thorough urologic workup, including imaging prior to sling placement, was not always performed. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. No clear association exists between polypropylene MUS placement and subsequent urethral diverticulum formation. Factors that diminish polypropylene mesh biocompatibility include elevated BMI, menopause, recurrent UTIs, prior pelvic surgeries, and preexisting medical conditions. Symptoms associated with urethral diverticula should prompt a complete urologic workup prior to MUS placement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/6761581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,12]],"date-time":"2020-05-12T23:31:08Z","timestamp":1589326268000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Urethral Diverticulum following Polypropylene Mesh Midurethral Slings: A Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Pacer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1663-8415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omar Felipe","family":"Duenas-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lekha","family":"Hota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristan","family":"Hornsby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3378-3585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Shapiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-013-2155-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-004-1145-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000167852"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tog.12192"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11934-015-0540-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00192-009-0874-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_2","first-page":"549","article-title":"Urethral diverticulum in the female.
