Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy With Excision of Mesh Migration Into the Bladder Following Repair of Inguinal Hernia

Migration of hernia mesh into the bladder is a rare complication of inguinal hernioplasty. We present the case of an 85-year-old man who complained of hematuria and fever some 20 years after right hernioplasty.

Description
Summary:Migration of hernia mesh into the bladder is a rare complication of inguinal hernioplasty. We present the case of an 85-year-old man who complained of hematuria and fever some 20 years after right hernioplasty. Cystoscopy and computed tomography revealed mesh migration into the right anterior wall of the bladder. Laparoscopic partial cystectomy with excision of the migrated mesh was performed successfully. To our knowledge, this is the first case of mesh migration into the bladder treated by laparoscopic partial cystectomy.
