A 65-year-old man presented to a clinic with a chief complaint of macrohematuria and frequent urination. The computed tomographic scan and cystoscopy revealed a dome of bladder tumor. He was referred to our hospital with the diagnosis of bladder tumor. He had undergone bilateral inguinal hernia repair and magnetic resonance imaging suggested mesh plug migration on the urinary bladder inserted into the right inguinal lesion 11 years previously. Under the diagnosis of mesh plug migration, partial cystectomy with extraction of the foreign body was performed. After the surgery he was well and symptoms had disappeared.

Should Mesh Plug Use Be Discontinued in Hernia Repair Practices?
Cureus

General Surgery, Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton, Braselton, USA.
Mesh plugs are commonly used in inguinal hernia repair due to their perceived efficacy in reducing recurrence rates. However, their use has been associated with significant complications, including mesh migration, chronic pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesions, and erosion into adjacent organs. This case series presents three patients who experienced complications from mesh plug migration post-hernia repair.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a new fixed bed bioreactor designed for scalable adherent cell culture, which is vital for advancing cell and gene therapies.
- The bioreactor features stacked mesh discs for efficient fluid flow and minimal stress on cells, showing excellent uniformity in media distribution during cell growth.
- The platform is highly effective for automated cell harvesting and maintains a high cell viability rate while allowing for predictable modeling of cell growth, making it a promising tool for large-scale biomanufacturing.
Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal repair for recurrent inguinal bladder hernia: A case report.
Asian J Endosc Surg
July 2024
Department of Surgery, Toyama Red Cross Hospital, Toyama, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A 79-year-old man with a recurrent inguinal bladder hernia underwent three unsuccessful surgeries before being treated with a totally extraperitoneal repair (TEP) technique.
- Preoperative imaging confirmed the hernia, which had previously been addressed via an anterior approach.
- The TEP method allowed safe reduction of the bladder hernia and effective repair using a specialized mesh, leading to an uneventful recovery and no recurrence after one year.
Introduction: Evidence about the advantage of Lichtenstein's repair, the guidelines' recommended technique, is scarce regarding postoperative chronic inguinal pain (CPIP). The primary aim of this study was to compare CPIP in patients undergoing Lichtenstein versus other techniques.
Methods: Prospective multicentric cohort study including consecutive adults undergoing elective inguinal hernia repair in Portuguese hospitals (October - December 2019).
Laparoscopic surgery for De Garengeot's hernia in a man after inguinal hernia surgery with a mesh plug: a case report and review of literature.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Mizuho-Cho, 1 Kawasumi, Mizuho-Ku, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- De Garengeot's hernia is a rare type of femoral hernia that includes the appendix, and this report discusses a case involving a 75-year-old male patient with a history of inguinal hernia surgery.
- The patient presented with a groin lump, and after imaging confirmed an incarcerated appendix within the hernia, laparoscopic surgery was performed to release the appendix and repair the hernia using mesh.
- The findings suggest that while laparoscopic surgery is beneficial for diagnosing and treating this condition, the use of mesh in such cases needs to be considered carefully due to the uniqueness of De Garengeot's hernia.
