AI Article Synopsis
- The authors conducted a study of 710 laparoscopic hernia repairs over 10 years and encountered a rare case of delayed mesh infection 7 years after the surgery.
- A 56-year-old patient experienced diarrhea and swelling in the right side of the abdomen, leading to imaging that showed a mesh in a fluid-filled cavity.
- Upon surgical exploration, 550 ml of pus was found in the cavity alongside the mesh, which was subsequently removed, and the patient recovered well post-surgery.
Article Abstract
In our series of 710 consecutive laparoscopic total-extra-peritoneal hernia repairs over a period of 10 years (2001-2010), the authors report a rare case of delayed mesh infection developing 7 years postoperatively. A 56-year-old patient presented with diarrhoea and fullness in right iliac fossa region. Radiological imaging confirmed a floating mesh in a fluid-containing cavity. Subsequent exploration revealed a large preperitoneal cavity containing 550 ml of pus with a floating mesh in it. The mesh was removed and the patient was discharged after making a good recovery.

Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, involving in most cases the use of textile meshes providing a mechanical barrier to consolidate the damaged surrounding tissues and prevent the resurgence of the hernia. However, in more than half cases postoperative complications such as adhesions and infections occur at the surface of the mesh, leading to chronic pain for the patient and requiring the removal of the implant. One of the most promising strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions and infections is to add a physical barrier between the mesh and the abdominal walls.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a potential cure for many hematological malignancies. Historically, older adults were not considered eligible for allo-HCT due to increased toxicity and mortality concerns. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the outcomes of allo-HCT in patients aged 70 years or older.

Introduction: Patients with cirrhosis are known to be prone to infections. Infections can trigger organ failures and decompensations in cirrhosis. Septic shock can increase mortality by fourfold and cause hemodynamic imbalances, adding to the already hyperdynamic circulation.

Background: Breast reconstruction practices, predominantly implant-based, have evolved, with meshes aiding in overcoming traditional limitations. However, data comparing mesh-assisted prepectoral reconstruction with implants alone are lacking. This study aimed to assess whether synthetic meshes in prepectoral reconstruction impact postoperative complications.

Purpose: The management of parastomal hernia following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion is challenging due to its specific nature and a high recurrence rate, yet is poorly described.
Methods: We retrospectively searched the clinical data warehouse of our center for patients who had primary parastomal hernia repair following cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion. The primary endpoint was recurrence of parastomal hernia; secondary endpoints were postoperative complications and surgical management of recurrences.
