Abstract

Introduction 
This video presents a rare clinical case of a mersilene tape cerclage bladder perforation. The patient presented to the care of a urogynecologist for the work-up of gross hematuria. Fifteen years prior, she had undergone a radical trachelectomy for cervical cancer with insertion of cerclage.
Design 
The clinical case, review of relevant literature, management approach, and endoscopic (cystoscopic and laparoscopic) steps to the cerclage removal are presented.
Results 
By use of operative cystoscopy and laparoscopy, a minimally invasive method of cerclage removal from the bladder was successfully performed as a joint case between Urogynecology and Urology.
Conclusion 
In women with a cervical cerclage, consider bladder perforation as a cause of lower urinary tract symptoms, such as hematuria.
