ABSTRACT

Hernia repair using prosthetic meshes has dramatically reduced recurrence rates, so its use has been widely accepted. Mesh infections are the major complication in this type of surgery. Its management is usually complex and requires sometimes removal of the mesh. A literature review was made, taking into account the personal experience of the authors in addressing this type of complications. Mesh infection is a complication that requires comprehensive intensive treatment, going from the control of local infection, the use of antibiotics to the partial or total removal of the mesh graft if necessary.
