AI Article Synopsis
- A patient developed a chronic groin sinus due to the migration of a Filshie clip, which was placed during a laparoscopic sterilization 21 years prior.
- This case contributes to the limited literature on tubal clip migration leading to local infections.
- Health professionals should consider this rare complication when women with a history of tubal clip ligation present with recurrent or chronic infections in the groin or surrounding areas.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a patient presenting with a chronic groin sinus secondary to a tubal ligation clip migration (Filshie clip) 21 years after the laparoscopic sterilisation took place. Our case report adds to the small number of cases describing tubal clip migration with resultant local sepsis. Although this is a rare complication, it should be borne in mind for women who have undergone tubal clip ligation and present with recurrent or chronic groin, perineal or peri-anal sepsis.
