Event or Problem Description

|
According to the literature, an obese 60-year-old gentleman underwent emergency surgery for port site hernia and bowel obstruction, which developed three days following laparoscopic small bowel resection.A composite ventral patch 8.6 cm was placed in the intra-peritoneal layer due to a 4 cm fascial defect.The patient presented to the emergency department with pain, fever, and abnormal laboratory values and underwent computed tomography (ct), which showed an extensive infection surrounding the mesh.Urgent percutaneous drainage and intravenous antibiotics were required, followed by dilution and washout of the cavity with large volumes of saline solution.A ct scan performed at the end of the treatment confirmed resolution of the infection, and the patient remained well.
