Abstract:
Osteitis pubis is a noninfectious, painful, inflammmatory condition affecting the periosteum, cartilage, and ligaments of the symphysis pubis. It has been associated with urologic and gynecologic procedures, pregnancy and rheumatologic disorders. Despite seven decades of speculation, its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, natural history and optimal therapy for osteitis pubis remain controversial. We had experienced two cases of osteitis pubis after laparoscopic Burch colposuspension using prolene mesh and Tacker(R). All cases of osteitis pubis were treated with conservative managements.
