title: Laparoscopic management of iatrogenic bladder injury and bladder stone formation following laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy.
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.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report on a rare complication following laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy of bladder stone formation and its management.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
