[Bladder and bowel migration of staples used for inguinal hernia repair via transperitoneal laparoscopy].

Introduction of foreign bodies inside abdominal cavity may migrate to hollow organs like bladder and bowel. This can occur after various laparoscopic or open abdominal and pelvic surgeries in which synthetic materials are used. We report an exceptional case of bladder and ileal migration of tackers used to fix mesh during laparoscopic transperitonel inguinal hernia repair in a 65-year-old man who presented for recurrent fever, dysuria, frequency and suprapubic pain. A laparotomy was done showing that some tackers which served to repair the hernia had migrated into ileon and bladder. We performed limited resection of involved ileum and bladder with complete disappearance of symptoms.
