Multitechnique imaging findings of Prolene plug hernia repair

Carmel G Cronin et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2010 Sep.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to illustrate the spectrum of imaging findings of polypropylene (Prolene) plug hernia repair.

Conclusion: Knowledge of patient history and awareness of postsurgical imaging appearances are of importance because Prolene plugs are often incidentally encountered and if misdiagnosed may lead to erroneous patient disease staging and management.
