Pathology of ilioinguinal neuropathy produced by mesh entrapment: case report and literature review

J P Miller et al. Hernia. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

Ilioinguinal neuropathy is a well-described complication of mesh inguinal herniorrhaphy. We report the first human case, to our knowledge, of ilioinguinal nerve mesh entrapment with neuropathological changes that suggest an inflammatory cause for this chronic pain syndrome.
