A rare complication from total extraperitoneal (TEP) laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: bladder rupture associated with a balloon dissector

Authors: P.-M. Chow, Y.-R. Su, Y.-S. Chen

Published in: Hernia | Issue 6/2013

Abstract

Purpose

We report a rare complication of TEP herniorrhaphy.

Methods

A 47-year-old man underwent TEP inguinal hernia repair.

Results

Bladder rupture was noted after balloon dissection. The defect was sutured, and the hernia was repaired under laparoscopy. Cystoscopy showed the site of injury at anterior bladder neck.

Conclusion

This is the first report of bladder rupture associated with balloon dissector in a patient with no prior abdominal surgery.
