Migration of Mesh through Trans-Rectal Route: An Unusual Complication of Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Majority of inguinal hernia repairs today, open or laparoscopic, are performed with mesh tension-free repair. The introduction of mesh, though beneficial, poses its own gamut of postoperative problems; mesh migration being the most unusual, increases morbidity and financial burden. Only a handful of cases of mesh migration have been reported in literature. Here we report the first case to our knowledge, of mesh migration through rectum developing 2 years postoperatively. The mesh was removed manually and the patient was managed conservatively and discharged. This case highlights the importance of recognising mesh migration as a complication of hernia repair and thus we suggest that all the cases of mesh migration should be reported and further research should be done to find out the cause of this occurrence and thereby taking necessary steps to prevent its incidence.
