Summary
Bladder irritation after hernia repair can occur even without mesh penetrating the bladder. A folded mesh, not visible on standard imaging, caused urinary symptoms in a patient, highlighting a rare cause of post-operative bladder issues.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Inguinal hernia repair complications can include bladder irritation.
- Mesh migration into the bladder is the typical cause of these symptoms.
- This case explores bladder irritation without direct mesh penetration.

3.1K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...
