Mesh migration following repair of inguinal hernia: a case report and review of literature

A Agrawal et al. Hernia. 2006 Mar.

Abstract

New surgical procedures in the aftermath of their benefits beget new complications as well. Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia is widely practised now. It involves reinforcement of hernial defect with a synthetic mesh. We report a rare case of migration of mesh into urinary bladder following this mode of hernial repair. We also present a review of literature involving migration of mesh following all inguinal hernial repairs.
