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. ? 2012 Springer-Verlag France.
