Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old man presented with worsening abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception after undergoing ultrasound and colonoscopy, which revealed a precancerous polyp.
- Despite some success in preoperative treatment, a right hemicolectomy ultimately uncovered an underlying cecal adenocarcinoma.
- The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing adult ileocecal intussusception due to its rare occurrence and non-specific symptoms, emphasizing the need for tailored surgical interventions and the importance of imaging techniques for proper evaluation.
Background: There is evidence that mesh repair for primary umbilical hernias results in less recurrences and similar wound complication rates compared to tissue repair. In recent years, several mesh devices for the repair of small ventral hernias have been developed, but some reports have been published on serious complications and adverse effects encountered with those mesh devices.
Methods: The Proceed™ Ventral Patch (PVP™) is a partially absorbable lightweight polypropylene mesh.
