The transobturator tape surgery is the most recent minimally invasive midurethral sling procedure. This technique is introduced with the expect of decreasing some of the complications such as bladder, bowel and blood vessel injury that is associated with retropubic passage of needles. Reported is a 48-year-old woman who underwent a transobturator tape(TVT-O) procedure and who developed a retropubic hematoma at the pelvic cavity.
