Abstract

Hernia repair is the most commonly performed operation by general surgery. We present a case of intraluminal mesh migration into the transverse colon and distal ileum after ventral hernia repair. An ileo-transverse anastomosis was performed after the mesh was removed and the abdominal wall was reconstructed. This case demonstrates a rare but possible complication after hernia repair with mesh. In these patients, physicians should keep a high index of suspicion for mesh migration when all other causes of GI symptoms have been ruled out.
