The use of bone anchors as a superior fixation for suburethral slings is becoming popular. We present a case report of pubic osteomyelitis and granuloma after bone anchor placement. A 71-year-old woman underwent placement of a vaginal wall sling using pubic bone anchors placed through a suprapubic incision. Recurrent swelling of the mons pubis required re-exploration and removal of the anchors from an infected pubic bone. When symptoms persisted over the following 10 months, the patient underwent repeat surgery and excision of a pubic bone granuloma. The use of bone anchors in suburethral sling surgery is associated with possible increase in patient morbidity, and no benefit to the patient has been shown.
