Chronic bladder herniation associated with pubic diastasis.
We present a case report of chronic bladder herniation following a vertical abdominal incision in a patient with a long-standing post-traumatic pubic diastasis. Fascial repair was successful after the defect was bridged with a cortical bone graft to supply anchorage for the repair. A successful fascial repair seemed to be contingent upon reestablishment of a competent anterior pelvic ring.
