Mesh erosion causes small bowel obstruction: a rare complication of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: case description and review of literature.
Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and total extraperitoneal (TEP) are the two types of laparoscopic repair of the inguinal hernia. The main advantages of laparoscopic repair, as compared to open repair, are a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery to normal activities. However, we cannot be overlooked or neglected the complication of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair although it brings us lots of benefits. We report a case of small bowel obstruction caused by a displaced mesh used for the laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and review of literature.
