Obturator neuralgia following mid-urethral sling is rare and most commonly associated with transobturator tapes [1]. Prior reports of obturator nerve injury from retropubic midurethral tape (or tension-free vaginal tape, TVT) have described leaving the portion of tape attached to the nerve in situ [2, 3]. We present a case of obturator neuralgia secondary to lateral retropubic tape misplacement. A multi-disciplinary approach resulted in complete tape removal.
