A very late-onset deep infection after prosthetic inguinal hernia repair.

ABSTRACT

Prosthetic repair of inguinal hernias has low recurrence and infection rates in practice. However, surgical site infection is still a potential complication. A limited number of cases have been reported to date describing late-onset deep mesh infection following prosthetic repairs. We herein report a new case of postherniorrhaphy infection with a very late onset.
