Özet
Small bowel perforation due to mesh migration can be seen rarely but it is the one of the most important complication of using the prostetic mesh. A 48 year old female, who had seven ventral hernia repairs performed in the past was admitted to our emergency department for observation. On physical examination the patient had rigidity, tenderness and rebaund on all quadrants of abdomen. The patient was brought to the operating room in an emergent setting. A median superior-inferior laparotomy was performed on the site of a previous surgical operation site. 10 cm of gangrenous, infarcted and perforated small bowel was found in the surgery. The necrotic segment was resected. Opening the specimen on patological examination, retained mesh in the lumen of the small bowel was found.
