- Abstract
Background: Herniorrhaphy is one of the most commonly performed operations in the UK. Approximately 1 per 1,000 of the population has a groin hernia., Method and Result: We report on a rare complication following laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy of bladder stone formation and its management., Conclusion: To our knowledge a combined laparoscopic repair of the urinary bladder wall, following iatrogenic injury by a mesh fixation clip and retrieval of bladder stone (induced through the misplacement of the clip) has not been described previously.
