It was reported that a patient underwent a laparoscopic hernia repair procedure on (b)(6) 2012 and mesh was used.
Twenty days post operatively, the patient experienced severe inflammation due to the foreign body mesh and developed an recurrent incisional hernia.
The patient underwent a reoperation on (b)(6) 2012.
During the reoperation, adhesions were found and the mesh was covered with a thick and whitish rind, which could be the neoperitoneum, with white bubbles, also present on the colon, as further evidence of excessive inflammatory reaction developed by the patient.
The mesh was completely and easily removed because it was not integrated at all.
A different type of mesh was used to repair the hernia.
Currently, the patient is getting better.
