    Author: Thapa PB, Maharjan DK, Pudasaini S, Sharma SK.
    Journal: JNMA J Nepal Med Assoc; 2009; 48(174):168-9. PubMed ID: 20387363.
    Abstract:
    Inguinal vasal obstruction following hernia repair is related to either direct injury to vas or ischemic injury leading to delay stricture. Not much has been described regarding the long term impact of synthetic mesh as far as integrity of the cord structure is concerned. Here, we report a case that underwent mesh explantation for posthernioplasty inguinodynia as well as recurrence and found to have total occlusion of the lumen of vas segment adherent to the explanted mesh on microscopic examination.
