Bladder Herniation through a Suprapubic Wound Tract: A Case Report
Bladder herniation through a suprapubic wound tract is a rare complication after the surgical creation of a suprapubic cystostomy.Here, we report a case of bladder herniation through a suprapubic wound tract in an 87-year-old female.Herniated tissue was confirmed as bladder by Computed-Tomography (CT) and outpatient cystoscopy.Bladder herniation through a suprapubic wound tract is an unusual finding and it must be reduced surgically to mitigate the risk of bladder injury or sepsis.
