Abstract

Background

Although rare, mesh migration or erosion into viscera has been reported as case report, and most of the cases involved with the urinary bladder. With the increasing use of prosthetic mesh in hernia repair, this severe complication would increase in the future; thus, we feel that it is necessary to analyze the clinical patterns of mesh erosion into the urinary bladder, and to discuss the prevention and treatment of this severe complication.

Method

In the present study, we made a thorough identification of all published reports on mesh migration or erosion into the urinary bladder, and the data were summarized, analysed, and discussed.

Results

A total of 23 cases of mesh erosion into urinary bladder were reported since 1994. Among them, two cases were from incisional hernia repairs, and 21 cases were following inguinal hernia repairs. The most frequently reported procedures were TAPP, followed by TEP. The duration from initial hernia repair to the onset of mesh erosion into bladder varied greatly (3 months–20 years), and most of cases occurred in 1–5 years after the initial hernia repair (10/23, 43.5%), while a certain number of cases occurred 10 years after hernia repair (6/23, 26.1%). Most of these cases were treated with mesh removal via a open procedure (12/22, 54.5%), and in 7 cases (7/22, 31.8%), the partial cystectomy was performed as well as mesh removal. Laparoscopic or robotic treatment procedures were performed in three cases.

Conclusion

Mesh erosion into the urinary bladder can occur after both open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs in a wide range of duration. This complication most frequently happened following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It was usually treated with partial or complete mesh removal, with or without partial cystectomy. A registry system is necessary for monitoring this complication.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
