description

Highlights • Hernia mesh infection is easier to prevent than to cure. • A late infected hernia mesh explantation is more challenging than an early one. • Hernia mesh fragmentation following partial explantation burdens its complete removal. • An incorrect surgical strategy could catalyze a chain reaction of complications.
