Acute diverticulitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal illnesses that requires hospital admission. It has a broad range of presentations from uncomplicated disease to perforation and peritonitis that require emergent surgical exploration. Abscesses are one of the most common complications. We present a case of retroperitoneal abscess with extension to the antero-lateral upper thigh that was successfully treated with open Hartman's procedure with drainage of psoas abscess and open drainage of thigh abscess.

Article Synopsis
- Mesh placement is the standard treatment for inguinal hernias using either open surgery or the TAPP approach, both of which are generally safe but can lead to rare complications like visceral injuries.
- Two male patients experienced serious issues years after surgery, including mesh erosion and the development of mesh-enterocutaneous fistulas, requiring extensive surgical interventions such as colectomy and colostomy.
- Clinicians should be vigilant in diagnosing possible intrabdominal complications in patients with inguinal region abscesses and be prepared for surgical management in symptomatic cases.
