Case Report: Sigmoid Perforation by broken nitinol memory Frame after inguinal hernia Repair.

CONCLUSION: Particularly in young athletic patients the nitinol ring will be subject to bending forces in the groin and prone to breakage. This can have potentially severe consequences given its location near abdominal organs and neurovascular structures. In our opinion, patients should be informed about the possibility of ring breakage and doctors should consider the risk-benefits well. PMID: 32374656 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
