[Enterocutaneous fistula after Marlex net implantation. A rare complication after incisional hernia repair].
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.
