Colonoscopic Removal of Inguinal Hernia Mesh: Report of a Case and Literature Review

Abstract: The transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure for laparoscopic inguinal hernia mesh repair is being applied with increasing frequency. This technique has an acceptable recurrence rate (0.4-3.9%), but has varying complication rates (1.3-17.4%).1,2 We report the first case of mesh penetration of the colon following laparoscopic TAPP repair, treated with colonoscopy.

“…Clinical presentations are variable and related to the organ involved. Migration of knitted propylene mesh into the urinary bladder after laparoscopic left direct and indirect inguinal repair has been reported to cause haematuria [3,4] and recurrent urinary tract infections. One report noted mesh plug migration into the scrotum after laparoscopic hernia repair that presented as a tender scrotal mass [5].…”

“…Along with this, several reports of resultant enteric [7] and enterovesical fistulas [8] have been reported. Successful colonoscopic removal of a migrated mesh from the colon at the splenic flexure has also been reported [3]. While the aetiology is unknown for mesh migration but based on the significant complications reported, the authors hypothesized that the method of fixation, as well as type of mesh, may have contributed to this problem.…”

“…Le délai entre l'hernioplastie et la migration de la plaque est variable, allant de quelques mois à plusieurs années. Des facteurs de risque ont été mentionnés dans la littérature : l'abord laparoscopique, l'absence de drainage postopéra-toire, la plénitude vésicale au cours de l'hernioplastie 17,18 . Le diagnostic n'est pas souvent facile à cause de la réac-tion à corps étranger induite par l'irritation causée par la prothèse.…”

“…La présence de lésions aux organes avoisinants exige un traitement. Dans le cas d'extrusion intestinale, une résection protégée ou non par stomie selon les conditions locales est une approche classique 17 . Une réparation sans exérèse semble possible mais hasardeuse.…”

“…If a migrated mesh plug enters the peritoneal cavity, it may potentially perforate the bowel as a further complication. Other complications include migration of mesh and the mesh plug, [21][22][23] intestinal obstruction, perforation and fistula formation, [24][25][26] strangulated hernias, and a burst abdomen. …”
