Absorbable mesh in a contaminated field: hernia repair outcomes
This study evaluates patient outcomes using biosynthetic mesh based upon C DC wound classification. Following Institutional Review Board approval, the local National Surgery Quality Improvement (NSQIP) databases were queried for open ventral hernia repaired with absorbable mesh implants from January 2013–December 2017. Factors for comparison included patient demographics , operative details, and an analysis of clinical outcomes. Our study identified 112 ventral hernia repair cases with absorbable mesh placement, 32% (n = 36) were wound classes II–IV. Higher wound class correlated statistically with diabetes (33.3%)...

34530 Pyogenic granulomatous formation due to transepithelial elimination of abdominal hernia mesh
Foreign body reactions occur when nonnative material is embedded into the body, with subsequent rejection of that material leading to granulomatous formation. Granulomatous responses to foreign material most often present with a sarcoidal or palisading arrangement. Pyogenic granulomatous formation is reported, albeit a rarer presenting sign. This is a case of an 80-year-old Caucasian woman who presented to an outpatient clinic with a 3-month history of indurated red-brown-purple papules coalescing into plaques with ulceration on her central abdomen.

Asymptomatic mesh infection 6  years after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: A rare case report
This report aims to discuss a case of asymptomatic mesh infection 6  years after laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair and to reveal that the risk of mesh infection may occur after a long period of this surgery. This report is also intended to suggest surgeons pay more attention to the follow-up of such patients and to be aware of the p ossibility of mesh infection to assist in early diagnosis and treatment. A 63-year-old male patient, who underwent TEP inguinal hernia repair 6 years ago for right inguinal hernia, fell down accidentally 2 weeks ago. Enhanced computed tomography(CT) showed ...

Can magnetisation transfer magnetic resonance imaging help for the follow-up of synthetic hernia composite meshes fate? A pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Magnetization transfer imaging allows to detect mesh integration and, associated with pneumoperitoneum, was able to probe the effective minimizing effect of the synthetic polymeric barrier on visceral attachments. However, magnetization transfer imaging could not unambiguously allow the visualization of the mesh through the polymeric barrier.PMID:35552915 | DOI:10.1007/s10334-022-01016-4 (Source: Magma)

Small Bowel Obstruction Caused by Bezoar Formation Around Intraluminal Hernia Mesh
We present a case report wherein a 55-year-old female presented to our clinic with chronic nausea, vomiting, and dehydration in the setting of a complex past surgical history, including laparoscopic incisional hernia repair in 2007 with intraperitoneal TiMeshTM. She then developed chronic nausea and vomiting and was hospitalized numerous times for dehydration. Due to her ongoing symptoms, she was taken to the operating room for exploration. A large, firm, mobile mass was identified within a loop of small bowel and was found to be a large bezoar firmly attached to a piece of intraluminal mesh. She progressed well postoperat...
