“…The mesh had been placed via intra-abdominal approach during an emergency exploratory laparotomy [6]. 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].…”

Incisional hernia formation following secondary to abdominal surgeries is a common complication. Laparoscopic mesh repair recently has gained significant publicity for such hernia repair. However, utilizing polypropylene mesh for incisional hernia repair, can lead to variety of complications from minor postoperative hematoma and seroma to mesh rejection and fistula formation. However, mesh migration is an infrequent occurrence and has been rarely reported in the literature. Additionally, review of literature shows mesh migration to urinary bladder, scrotum and caecal lumen. We present a case of delayed partialtrans mural mesh migration from the abdominal wall into colonic lumen, following laparoscopic mesh repair of abdominal incisional hernia. This is the first case of mesh migration that has been successfully managed conservatively.

“…Recurrent hernias are almost always found at the edge of implanted mesh. Mesh may become infected, migrate, 10 – 14 or impinge on adjacent structures 15 , 16 . Hematomas 17 – 19 or seromas 20 may develop, and the bowel may become adherent to the undersurface of the implanted mesh 21 .…”

“…Symptoms from mesh migration can develop weeks to years after surgery and vary depending on both the route of migration and destination of the mesh. 4 A CT scan may detect further complications of erosion into the bowel, such as frank perforation, 8 fistula, 8,11,12 or abscess. 4,8 To our knowledge, ours is only the third reported case of mesh erosion into the colon presenting as overt lower GI bleeding.…”

“…3 Erosion of mesh into the bowel typically presents with abdominal pain, 4,5,8 an abdominal mass, 5 or symptoms of obstruction 7,9,10 or with episodic bleeding per rectum. 8,12,13 In the absence of typical symptoms, however, the diagnosis of mesh erosion into the bowel may be missed by imaging alone. Colonoscopy is the single most effective test for the diagnosis of erosion of mesh into the colon.…”
