  • Title: Late intestinal fistula formation after incisional hernia using intraperitoneal mesh.
    Author: Ott V, Groebli Y, Schneider R.
    Journal: Hernia; 2005 Mar; 9(1):103-4. PubMed ID: 15616763.
    Abstract:
    Enteric fistulas are a rare but serious complication following the repair of an incisional hernia using a prosthesis. We report the case of a 52-year-old man who developed an enterocolocutaneus fistula after incisional hernia repair with intra-abdominal polyester mesh. This case shows that one may want to avoid placing the parietal prostheses in direct contact with intestinal loops.
