Our current issue offers an original paper by fellow gynaecologists on micturition disorders secondary to tension-free vaginal tape (TVT sling) placement. The authors retrospectively assessed 11 consecutive cases of postoperative micturition disorders managed with early sling loosening. They also presented an in-depth description of the impact of vaginal delivery on pelvic floor disorders in the introduction. These disorders involve both mechanical muscle and nerve damage. It is worth paying attention to this work as the gynaecologist’s perspective on the mechanisms underlying perinatal damage usually somewhat differs from that of a surgeon.
