Introduction: Mesh migration is one of the least common complications that arise after inguinal hernia repair with a mesh. Only small case series have been reported, and an understanding of this issue is limited due to a lack of data. Most of the cases were treated surgically. In this paper, we wish to present the potential of treating this condition using endoscopic techniques. Case report: A male patient underwent transabdominal preperitoneal repair of a primary inguinal hernia in 1999. In 2003, the patient required the same procedure for a recurrent inguinal hernia. Twenty years after the primary hernia repair, the patient had a positive faecal occult blood test but was completely asymptomatic. A colonoscopy revealed mesh migration into the sigmoid colon. Despite multiple attempts to remove the mesh endoscopically, endoscopic treatment was unsuccessful. The migrated mesh was surgically removed and obligatory resection of the sigmoid colon was carried out. Apart from wound infection (Clavien-Dindo IIIb), the postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: In our case, the mesh that had penetrated the colon could not be removed endoscopically. Despite our experience, it is advisable to attempt endoscopic removal of mesh that has migrated into a hollow intra-abdominal viscus.

Mesh erosion and migration are considered the gravest of complications of mesh repairs. To the best of our knowledge, mesh erosion and migration into the stomach following a mesh repair of adult diaphragmatic hernia has yet to be reported in the literature. A case of mesh eroding into the stomach, after a prosthetic repair of an adult diaphragmatic hernia, is presented here because of its rarity.

Introduction. Mesh is commonly employed for abdominal hernia repair because it ensures a low recurrence rate. However, enterocutaneous fistula due to mesh migration can occur as a very rare, late complication, for which diagnosis is very difficult.Presentation of Case. Here we report the case of an enterocutaneous fistula due to late mesh migration in a mentally retarded, diabetic, 35-year-old male after umbilical hernia repair with composite dual mesh in 2010.Discussion. Mesh is a foreign substance, because of that some of the complications including hematoma, seroma, foreign body reaction, organ damage, infection, mesh rejection, and fistula formation may occur after implantation of the mesh. In the literature, most cases of mesh-associated enterocutaneous fistula due to migration involved polypropylene meshes.Conclusion. This case serves as a reminder of migration of composite dual meshes.

Mesh related visceral complications are, in general, considered to be infrequent and rarely reported in literature, but in the last decade, incidence of such complications have increased. Our study highlights the case of an elderly patient, who developed rare complication of Mesh migration after laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty.

Ventral Incisional Hernia

Recurrence of hernia has significantly reduced with mesh repair. But mesh is a foreign material which has its own complications like haematoma, infection, sinus formation, mesh migration and erosion. Mesh migration and erosion although rare, is a challenging complication which requires surgical intervention. There are very few such mesh related complications reported in the literature. Authors report a case of mesh erosion resulting in chronic infection and formation of enterocutaneous fistula following incisional hernia repair 5 years after surgery. In this case small bowel segment containing mesh was resected and primary anastomosis was done. Migration of mesh also depends on the nature of mesh (biomaterial) and type of fixation. Although many techniques of hernia repair have been described (open or laparoscopic) care must be taken to fix the mesh to abdominal wall for prevention of delayed complications. Different techniques of repair, types of meshes have been discussed to prevent such complications.

Sliding Inguinal Hernia

The plug-and-patch technique is frequently used for the open repair of inguinal hernias; however, serious complications may arise on rare occasions. We present the case of a 69-year-old patient who presented with a colocutaneous fistula with the sigmoid colon 9 years after the repair of a left sliding inguinal hernia with the plug-and-patch technique. The patient underwent sigmoidectomy and excision of the fistulous track. He was discharged on postoperative day 5 and had an uneventful recovery. Although such complications are reported rarely, the surgeon must be aware of them when deciding upon the method of hernia repair.
