ABSTRACT

In the context of infection of a surgical mesh, complete explantation of the prosthetic material is considered the treatment of choice due to frequent failure of conservative management. We present the case of a 54-year-old male who developed infection of a preperitoneal mesh after 24 months of having undergone inguinal hernia repair by transabdominal preperitoneal approach. The mesh was explanted with Cheatle-Henry open technique not only as a means of less expensive alternative to laparoscopy, but also to keep the previous inguinal approach intact in the event of potential future repair.
