Attention To Detail

Migration has been highlighted as a serious complication of open inguinal hernia repair with the “plug-and-patch” technique. We used an English language Medline search from 1995 to 2006. Review of the literature found that three cases showed poor surgical technique, one case did not show true migration, another was a case of the wrong operation being done, and in the final case, the patient was in overall very poor health. Mesh plug migration after open inguinal hernia repair can be avoided if proper attention to detail is used at the time of initial repair.

Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

Introduction: A mesh plug is used worldwide for tension-free repair of an inguinal hernia. This procedure is relatively quick, is easy to learn, has a low recurrence rate, has few complications, and offers rapid recovery; however, complications specific to the mesh plug are infrequently reported. Case presentation: We present a rare case of a 70-year-old man admitted to our hospital with right lower abdominal pain and groin swelling 11 years after open inguinal hernia repair using a mesh plug. Abdominal computed tomography showed a subcutaneous abscess in the right inguinal region and a thickened ileum wall. We diagnosed that a mesh plug had penetrated into the ileum wall, resulting in an abscess. The emergency operation revealed the mesh plug migration into the ileum, and removal of the mesh plug and partial resection of the ileum were performed. At 9 months after operation, there has been no recurrence of the hernia. Conclusion: Although rare, migration of the mesh plug should be considered in patients who have undergone inguinal hernia repair and have symptoms of acute abdominal pain, particularly when there is no previous history of abdominal surgery.
