This case report details the first instance of bladder herniation following inflatable penile prosthesis insertion. Surgeons should consider bladder involvement in ventral hernias after penile prosthesis surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Inflatable penile prostheses are commonly used for erectile dysfunction.
  • Ventral hernias can occur post-surgery, but bladder involvement is rare.
  • This report addresses a unique complication following penile prosthesis implantation.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old male presented with a suprapubic bulge one year after his third inflatable penile prosthesis placement.
  • The patient experienced no voiding issues but desired repair for cosmetic reasons.
  • Surgical exploration revealed the majority of the urinary bladder within the hernia sac.

Findings:

  • The first documented case of bladder herniation associated with inflatable penile prosthesis insertion.
  • Successful surgical repair involved Gore-Tex mesh for the defect and reservoir repositioning.

  • The patient's condition was successfully managed with surgical intervention.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering bladder involvement in ventral hernias post-penile prosthesis surgery.
    • Suggests preoperative cystography as a potential diagnostic tool for identifying hernia contents.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing rare complications after penile implant procedures.
