Sigmoidocolocystoplasty for augmentation of iatrogenic small capacity bladder caused by direct injury to the bladder during inguinal hernia repair: long-term follow-up.
Inguinal hernia repair is the most common operation performed in pediatric surgical practice. However, this procedure can be difficult, even in the most experienced hands, and result in complications, especially in small infants. Injury to the bladder is one of the known complications of inguinal herniotomy, especially in infants less than 6 months old. We report the long-term follow-up of a case having bladder injury during inguinal hernia repair at the age of 3 months and at the age of 10 underwent sigmoidocolocystoplasty for augmentation of a small, contracted bladder and high-grade vesicoureteric reflux caused by the bladder injury.
