Abstract

The occurrence of bladder calculi in women is uncommon, and the evaluation of bladder stone in women with any history of previous pelvic surgery demands careful attention. Bladder erosion due to previous anti-incontinence surgery formed the nidus for stone formation, and often presented as recurrent cystitis or refractory urinary incontinence since the early postoperative period. We hereby report a rarely delayed appearance of the symptomatic iatrogenic bladder stone occurring 10 years after previous tension-free vaginal tape procedure.
