    Author: Seelig MH, Kasperk R, Tietze L, Schumpelick V.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1995 Jul; 66(7):739-41. PubMed ID: 7671764.
    Abstract:
    Erosions of intraabdominal hollow viscus are possible complications following reconstructive surgery of the abdominal wall after hernia repair with non-absorbable biomaterials. A rare case of manifestation of a enterocutaneous fistula by chronical erosion of a Marlex mesh after repair of an incisional hernia is presented. Successful treatment was achieved by fistulectomy, small bowel segmental resection and limited resection of the implanted Marlex mesh.
