Early postoperative voiding dysfunction after insertion of retropubic midurethral tape.

Introduction And Hypothesis: A significant proportion of patients develop voiding dysfunction after midurethral tape (MUT) insertion, which reduces patient satisfaction. The study's purpose was to identify predictive factors of voiding dysfunction after a retropubic MUT procedure.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 100 patients who underwent only a retropubic MUT procedure between January 2010 and December 2011.

Ectopic pregnancy with a translocated Mirena intrauterine system.

A woman, fitted with a Mirena intrauterine system (IUS), presented with a positive pregnancy test and a 5-day history of per vaginam bleeding and left iliac fossa pain. Beta-hCG level was raised at 1815 IU/l and a pelvic ultrasound scan showed a normal empty uterus. An abdominal x-ray showed that the IUS was in the left hypochondrium.
