Case report: mechanical failure of a spinal transabdominal teflon stent in tuboplasty.
Intraperitoneal breakage of a transabdominal tuboplastic prosthesis was reported. Incomplete small bowel obstruction may be predisposed by the open loop formed by transperitoneal placement. Avoidance of re-exploration, an intent of the technique, is obviated by stent breakage.
