Mesh-preservation approach to treatment of mesh infection after large incisional ventral hernia repair—how I do it

Abstract: Mesh infection after large incisional ventral hernia repair is a clinical dilemma in abdominal wall hernia surgery. It is believed foreign material should be removed but it causes secondary trauma to the abdominal wall tissue and might be associated with a higher risk of complications. Currently, there is no consensus on mesh-preservation treatment in cases of mesh infection after hernia repair in general. Herein we present the case of a 27-year-old male who recovered well from mesh infection after large incis… Show more

“…This is difficult to attribute too because retroperitoneal hematoma is more seen in laparoscopic repair than in open mesh repair. Day care or single day surgeryopen hernia technique can be performed as a day care surgery [10]. This implies that the treatment is patient centered which is safe, it is of high quality.…”

“…Mesh-related infections could occur weeks or years after surgical intervention and differ from incisional surgical site infections, occurring superficially, within 30 days of the intervention [38]. The data reported for the incidence differs from 1 to 8%, influenced not only by the mesh type but also by patients' co-morbidities (including diabetes and obesity), surgical technique, or strategy for prevention [38][39][40]. The most common microorganisms related to mesh infection are Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, but infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, or Candida albicans have also been reported.…”

“…Incisional hernia of the abdominal wall is a common complication after abdominal surgery, in which the occurrence rate reported at 23.8 months was 12.8% in a systematic review and meta-regression study (1)(2)(3). It is correlated with the local and systemic factors, including the incision type, suture material and technique, wound infection, obesity, malnutrition, advanced age, diabetes, chronic obstructive lung disease, etc.…”
