Mesh erosion into the bladder can mimic bladder cancer symptoms, presenting as hematuria. Robotic surgery offers an effective solution for excising migrated mesh, ensuring patient recovery.

Area of Science:

Urology
Surgical Technology

Background:

Mesh erosion into the bladder is a rare but serious complication following hernia repair.
Symptoms of mesh erosion can overlap with those of bladder malignancy, leading to diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

A 62-year-old male presented with a two-year history of hematuria and imaging suggestive of a bladder tumor.
Cystoscopy revealed a lesion at the anterior bladder, later identified as a migrated mesh plug from a prior hernia repair.

Findings:

The migrated mesh plug was successfully excised using the Da Vinci Si robotic system.
Robotic surgery facilitated efficient mobilization of the bladder and surrounding structures, leading to a rapid recovery.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering mesh erosion in patients with unexplained hematuria, especially those with a history of hernia repair.

Keywords:

bladder cancer gross hematuria mesh erosion robotic surgery
