[Delayed necrotizing fasciitis: a complication of stress incontinence surgery by suburethral sling]. / Fasciite nécrosante tardive : une complication de la chirurgie de l'incontinence urinaire par bandelette sous-urétrale.

We report a 50-year-old woman case with an extensive necrotizing fasciitis (NF). The NF appeared 10 years after a tension free vaginal tape procedure for urinary stress incontinence. Vital prognosis was engaged due to the initial sepsis severity. This kind of complication is rare and could be under estimated. NF usually appear soon after surgery, whatever within the year following implantation. Anyway, NF are always related to a vaginal erosion of the tape.
