title: [Late complications from abdominal wall surgery: report of three cases of mesh migration into hollow viscus].
abstract: Laparoscopic mesh repair of ventral abdominal wall hernias is routinely performed. Mesh detachment and migration within the abdominal cavity is a late complication of this procedure. Symptoms are non-specific and imaging diagnosis is difficult to achieve because this complication is rare and overlooked.
