LAMBRE, Bárbara G. et al. Mesh migration: a fearsome complication. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.112, n.3, pp.343-347. ISSN 2250-639X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v112.n3.1440.es.

Mesh migration with subsequent infection years after incisional hernia repair is an uncommon and dangerous complication. Mesh migration produces an inflammatory foreign body reaction and can cause bowel obstruction, bowel perforation or chronic abdominal pain. Only four cases have been reported in the international literature, one of them with bowel involvement. We report a case of an inflammatory tumor containing polypropylene traces adhered to the abdominal wall. The aim of this scientific letter is to report a rare complication, emphasizing the most relevant aspects about its ma nagement, recommendations, and the relevance of a multidisciplinary approach.
