Published: November 2007

Prolonged groin pain after transobturator tape is uncommon. Three women reported groin pain that had not improved by 3 months postoperatively. Combined steroid and local anesthetic was effective for pain relief in all patients. The differential diagnosis of persistent groin pain after transobturator tape includes adductor muscle strain, osteitis pubis, obturator/groin abscess, structural adhesions, and inflammation, edema or nerve entrapment of the anterior branch of the obturator nerve. No side effects of treatment were noted. Patients that do not respond to local injection may require mesh dissection and excision.
