Removal of Mini-Sling Anchor With Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Site Marking With Methylene Blue

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to demonstrate a novel technique for the removal of a retained radiolucent single-incision midurethral sling anchor in a patient suffering from chronic pelvic pain. By using magnetic resonance imaging to localize the anchor and marking it with methylene blue dye, they provide intraoperative guidance that facilitates the surgical dissection. This approach highlights the potential value of dye marking in improving the localization of surgical targets that are not visible on standard imaging.
