OBJECTIVE: Sling procedures are the preferred surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to their high success rate and low risk of complications. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical Faculty of Charles University and Faculty Hospital Hradec Kralove. CASE REPORT: Necrotic fasciitis is a rare infectious complication, the mortality of which varies by age and can reach 73% if untreated. We present a case of a rare yet serious complication, necrotic fasciitis (NF), of a lateral muscle group of the thigh following antiincontinence implantation. Polypropylene transobturatory midurethral outside-in tape (TOT) was inserted, and NF occurred shortly after surgery. CONCLUSION: Effective treatment was based on a timely diagnosis, administration of wide-spectrum antibiotics, intensive care unit support, surgical treatment, and multidisciplinary cooperation. Timely initiation and adequate treatment are critical in preventing mortality.
