Unusual Timing of Mesh Migration Following Inguinal Hernioplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract
Mesh migration to the bladder after inguinal hernioplasty is a rare but important complication. We report a rare case of mesh migration to the bladder three weeks after inguinal hernioplasty. We also present a literature review involving cases of mesh migration following hernioplasty.
