Prolene Mesh

ABSTRACT The use of Prolene mesh for repair of various hernias is very common. As with any surgical procedure, it can be associated with complications such as seroma, hematoma and wound infection. However, it is uncommon to develop heterotopic ossification following incisional hernia repair with Prolene mesh. Herein, we report a case with chronic abdominal pain secondary to heterotopic ossification occurring after incisional hernia repair with Prolene mesh. It is crucial to report uncommon reactions to the mesh in order to aid in diagnosis of unexplained abdominal pain post hernia repair, after common etiologies are ruled out.

Abstract Heterotopic ossification is rarely seen after midline abdominal surgery. The etiology of heterotopic ossification is unknown. Although it is well recognized that heterotopic ossification may contain osteogenic cells and/or hematopoietic cells, to our knowledge, no case has ever been reported to have histologic evidence of hematopoiesis. We report the occurrence of heterotopic bone with bone marrow showing normal trilineage hematopoiesis in the incision scar of a woman who underwent gastric reduction surgery for the treatment of obesity. The literature regarding heterotopic ossification and extramedullary hematopoiesis is reviewed in this report, and discussion focuses on the mechanism of this pathophysiologic process.
