“…Debridement of the reactive tissues in the right lower quadrant could also have been done. Most authors with experience on mesh migration recommend total removal the mesh if feasible [23][24][25][26] due to the risk of complications that might arise involving the adjacent structures. Mesh migration is a known cause of morbidity in laparoscopic hernia repair.…”

This is an unusual case of a 55-year-old male with appendicitis caused by the incarceration of the appendix in an area of tissue reaction from a prosthetic mesh used for open inguinal hernia repair which migrated trans anatomically from the right inguinal area into the right lower peritoneal cavity. Isolated appendicitis caused by such phenomenon has never been reported in current literature. Introduction: Appendectomy is the most common emergency procedure worldwide. Approximately seven percent of the total population worldwide will undergo appendectomy during their lifetime. The rate of appendectomy for appendicitis is estimated at 10 per 10,000 patients per year.1-3 Appendicitis is commonly caused by luminal obstruction. The most common etiology of obstruction is fecalith. Other causes include lymphoid hypertrophy, inspissated barium, parasites, small vegetable seeds and tumors. Rarely, appendicitis could be secondary to ingested nondietary foreign bodies4-10, procedures11 and trauma.12-15 There has been no reported case of appendicitis caused by prosthetic mesh migration from the inguinal area into the peritoneal cavity. The authors searched MEDLINE using the following MeSH terms: appendicitis, inguinal hernia, mesh herniorraphy and mesh migration. Key words: Appendicitis, inguinal hernia, mesh herniorraphy, mesh migration, polypropylene mesh, prosthetic mesh

“…Nach Endoprothesenimplantation werden weiterhin bis zu 3 % Wundinfekte und tiefe Infekte angegeben [3,11,12,15]. Auch nach Netzimplantationen bei Hernienoperation kommt es gelegentlich zu Wundinfekten [1,5,8]. Diese Infekte zwingen in den meisten Fällen zur sofortigen Revision, da das Implantat bei oberflächlichen Infektionen nicht ge- speichernd darstellen.…”

When an infection occurs in the incisional area following surgery where foreign materials (i. e. endoprostheses, metal plates or plastic meshes) are implanted, a revision may become necessary because an infection in the area of the implant and involvement of the implant itself cannot be ruled out. In the case of a mitigated erysipelas, cultures taken during the revision seldom show bacterial growth. The disease progresses because surgery does not solve the problem of a weakened immune system and lymph stasis; on the contrary, it usually deteriorates the situation. A high dose antibiotic regimen is recommended as therapy for the mitigated erysipelas instead of an operative revision orally given. levofloxacin has proven to be successful reducing the recurrence rate. The course of two patients with mitigated erysipelas is represented for example in form of case studies. The patients were underwent several surgical revisions. But we had not to explant the endoprostheses at all. Finally both patients were treated with levofloxacin without further relapses.

The use of a mesh has been an advance in hernia repair and subsequently has become prevalent worldwide. However, the use of mesh may be associated with both non-infectious and infectious complications. We present here a representative case of a mesh-related infection due to Staphylococcus aureus and review the available data about the incidence, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prevention of this emerging type of foreign body infections.
