  • Title: Stone formation on surgical staple in the bladder: a long-term complication of laparoscopic colposuspension.
    Author: Yesilli C, Seckiner I, Mungan NA, Akduman B.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech; 2007 Dec; 17(6):568-9. PubMed ID: 18097328.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a bladder stone that developed around a surgical staple after laparoscopic colposuspension. The patient had undergone laparoscopic colposuspension for stress urinary incontinence at another institution 6 years ago. The hernia mesh and a tacker had been used as a surgical stapler. The stone and staple were retrieved endoscopically. To our knowledge, this is the first case of such a complication after laparoscopic colposuspension with a stapling device.
