Vesicoperitoneal fistula is a very rare entity of epithelialized communication between peritoneal cavity and bladder. It results in accumulation of urine in peritoneal cavity and causes elevated urea and creatinine levels mimicking acute renal failure. Incisional hernia is common complication of abdominal surgery and often repaired with non-absorbable mesh. Using dual mesh can reduce mesh related complications but migration to adjacent organs can still happen and cause severe complications. Here we present a case of mesh related vesico-peritoneal fistula presenting with urinary ascites 2 years after incisional hernia repair.
