Abstract
The intra-abdominal omental abscess following hernioplasty is a rare late post-operative complication. We report on a patient with intraabdominal abscess that developed after an inguinal hernia repair that utilized synthetic mesh. Infection resolved following thorough debridement, mesh removal, percutaneous drainage for abdominal abscesses and prolonged antimicrobial therapy.
Keywords
