Mesh erosion to urinary bladder causing fistulation to abdominal wall resulting in necrotizing fasciitis: A case report of late complication of incisional hernia

Conclusion This case was the first reported incident with bladder erosion by dual mesh causing vesico-cutaneous fistula complicated with necrotizing fasciitis. Although dual mesh theoretically reduces the risk of mesh erosion, mesh erosion to viscera can still happen and cause severe complication. Its risk should be balanced and discussed with patient with full consent.
