Midurethral tape placement is the gold standard procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Among reported complications, tape erosion is uncommon. Several risk factors have been postulated as causes of vaginal erosion, but none have been demonstrated. Cases of vaginal erosion caused by tape infections have been described, but none has been associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. We report the first case of vaginal exposure in a woman who underwent a midurethral sling procedure for SUI after HPV colonization.

Abstract
Midurethral tape placement is the gold standard procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Among reported complications, tape erosion is uncommon. Several risk factors have been postulated as causes of vaginal erosion, but none have been demonstrated. Cases of vaginal erosion caused by tape infections have been described, but none has been associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. We report the first case of vaginal exposure in a woman who underwent a midurethral sling procedure for SUI after HPV colonization.
