Burch colposuspension remains one of the successful operations for genuine stress incontinence. We report a patient who developed an intravesical foreign body granuloma post‐Burch colposuspension. Any patient developing unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms following bladder or pelvic surgery for incontinence must be evaluated endoscopically in order to exclude this complication.
