Abstract
Osteomyelitis pubis is a rare pyogenic infection of the anterior pelvi
s. Prior pelvic surgery is the factor that usually causes this problem
. To my knowledge endoscopic urethropexy, that is the Stamey procedure
, has not been reported as a predisposing cause. A case of pubic osteo
myelitis following a Stamey urethropexy is reported.
