Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We studied 130 patients who underwent either a vaginal needle suspension procedure or a pubofascial sling procedure with Mitek titanium bone anchors to determine the association of osteitis pubis with bone anchoring in these procedures. Fifteen patients complained of postoperative suprapubic pain; five cases were due to wound infections and another five were associated with tying the suspension sutures too tightly. We suggest the use of the term 'periostitis pubis' to describe the remaining five patients who suffered suprapubic pain. We found no radiological evidence of osteitis pubis in any patients.
