Abstract

Laparoscopic mesh repair of ventral abdominal wall hernias is routinely performed. Mesh detachment and migration within the abdominal cavity is a late complication of this procedure. Symptoms are non-specific and imaging diagnosis is difficult to achieve because this complication is rare and overlooked.
