    Author: Colegate-Stone TJ, Raymond T, Khot U, Dickinson IK, Parker MC.
    Journal: Hernia; 2008 Aug; 12(4):429-30. PubMed ID: 18196444.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Herniorrhaphy is one of the most commonly performed operations in the UK. Approximately 1 per 1,000 of the population has a groin hernia. METHOD AND RESULT: We report on a rare complication following laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy of bladder stone formation and its management. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge a combined laparoscopic repair of the urinary bladder wall, following iatrogenic injury by a mesh fixation clip and retrieval of bladder stone (induced through the misplacement of the clip) has not been described previously.
