Osteitis pubis after Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethropexy: a pubic osteomyelitis

Article Abstract:

Osteitis pubis is an infrequent complication of gynecologic surgery but requires aggressive management. This condition is characterized by discomfort and pain over the pubic bones, difficulty walking and abnormalities in the pubic bones on X-ray. A review of 2,030 gynecologic surgeries found that 15 women developed osteitis pubis. Symptoms developed between 10 and 459 days after the operation. Bone cultures revealed that three-fourths of the women had a possible infection of the pubic bone. The women were treated with corticosteroids, antibiotics and surgery.
