Mesh erosion into the bladder: a late complication of incisional hernia repair. A case report and review of the literature

A A Riaz et al. Hernia. 2004 May.

Abstract

Late complications of mesh repair are commonly due to mesh migration and erosion into neighbouring visceri. We report the first case of a mesh repair of a lower midline laprotomy incisional hernia complicated by erosion of the mesh into the bladder which presented as haematuria.
