Enterovesical fistulas affect mainly male patients, due to the interposition of the uterus in women. They can be caused by neoplastic, inflammatory or traumatic processes. A case of ilovesical fistula due to migration of a silastic plate used to repair an epigastric infissional hernia is presented. This case has two distinctive features: first, the cause is extraurological, causing a fistula between both systems due to an inflammatory process. Secondly, we report the long distance travelled by the synthetic mesh, causing a peculiar clinical picture five years after its implantation.
