Repeated endoscopic excision of an eroding calcified mesh sling-continued follow-up is required

The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure is the most popular worldwide for treating stress urinary incontinence. Intravesical mesh erosion related to the use of the TVT sling is rare. We report a rare case of mesh erosion over the bladder dome, with stone formation developing 11 years after TVT...
