Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Transobturator tape procedure is a popular and effective minimally invasive technique to treat stress urinary incontinence. We report a case of transient obturator neuropathy caused by transobturator tape placement for stress urinary incontinence. Findings on physical examination were significant for bilateral obturator neuropathy resulting in significant motor deficit, prompting removal of the sling to avoid the potential of prolonged or permanent morbidity. There was immediate complete resolution of neuropathy with the return of motor function after surgical removal of the sling.</p> </sec> </abstract>
