摘要
A 62-year-old homemaker underwent an uneventful TVT (tension-free vaginal tape) procedure. Eleven days postoperatively she presented to the Emergency Department with agonizing low abdominal pain, elbow pain, fever, and drainage from her suprapubic puncture sites. Her evaluation was consistent with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis and she was started on antibiotics and taken to surgery for exploration and debridement, where the diagnosis was confirmed. This is the first report of necrotizing fasciitis following TVT placement.
