Özet

Mesh migration after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is an unusual and late complication. We report a 50-year-old man with persistent painless hematuria and urinary infection who underwent bilateral laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh 4 years ago. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prosthesis was used and fixed with tackers. The patient underwent cystoscopy and laparotomy for excision of the migrated PTFE prosthesis into the bladder. This is the first case of PTFE prosthesis migration into the bladder after laparoscopic hernia repair. We also reviewed the literature involving migration of mesh after all inguinal hernial repairs.
