Review Of Literature

Use of mesh for reinforcing hernia defects has become standard procedure but it is associated with a few serious complications like bowel erosion and fistula formation. We present a case of a 62 yrs lady with enterocutaneous fistula due to mesh erosion of small bowel, 10 yrs after open incisional hernia repair using polypropylene mesh who had to undergo laparotomy and resection of eroded bowel. A brief review of literature revealed that very few case reports of such fistulas following open incional hernioplasty have been reported and that current research on improving the properties of mesh may reduce such complications in future.

Materials Used

Prosthetic mesh implants in hernia repair are frequently used based on the fact that lower recurrence rates are detected compared to anatomic repair. In latest years, researchers tried to answer weather there is an ideal mesh material for abdominal hernia repair. The studies tried to compare resistance, bio-tolerance, rates of recurrence and infection of several materials used in alloplasty. The results are far from pointing an unique ideal chemical structure of mesh. In our study, we compared the results of a cohort of 265 patients operated in 2010 and 2011 in our clinic for complicated abdominal incisional hernias. We compared the results of polypropylene mesh vs. polyester. Polypropylene mesh proved significantly better for preventing hernia recurrence and showed a lower shrinkage rate.
