Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval form of the cestode worm Echinococcus. The most commonly encountered form of the disease is visceral hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus granulosus or dog tapeworm.

RESUMO
The transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedure for laparoscopic inguinal hernia mesh repair is being applied with increasing frequency. This technique has an acceptable recurrence rate (0.4-3.9%), but has varying complication rates (1.3-17.4%).1,2 We report the first case of mesh penetration of the colon following laparoscopic TAPP repair, treated with colonoscopy.
