  • Title: Mesh penetration of the sigmoid colon following a transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair.
    Author: Lange B, Langer C, Markus PM, Becker H.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 2003 Jan; 17(1):157. PubMed ID: 12399870.
    Abstract:
    The laparascopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of an inguinal hernia is an established technique associated with notably low rates of recurrence and complication. Inguinal pain and anal bleeding following a TAPP procedure may result from the penetration of the repair mesh into the sigmoid colon. In this case report, we discuss this particular complication following the TAPP procedure. Subsequently, we describe the diagnostics as well as the surgical treatment necessary.
