“…A technique described by Kovac and Cruickshank 48 relies on the attachment of a Mersilene mesh to the pubic bone with the use of small bone anchors. While this technique avoids the need for a suprapubic incision it introduces the possibility of complications arising from the use of bone anchoring, in particular osteomyelitis 49 .…”

We report on four patients who had a retropubic abscess (three with osteomyelitis) with involvement of the adjacent soft tissues following a procedure to correct stress urinary incontinence with use of pelvic bone screws to serve as anchors for sutures that were placed to support the bladder neck. The ages of the patients ranged from seventy-one to eighty years old. None of the patients had a known previous urinary tract infec-*No benefits in any form have been received or will be received from a commercial party related directly or indirectly to the subject of this article.

“…Chai et Sklar (251) ont décrit l'utilisation du cystoscope flexible comme vaginoscope pour mieux visualiser le site d'érosion.
