ABSTRACT
Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a common surgical operation with the prevailing complication of hernia recurrence. The development of diverse mesh materials has led to a lower hernia recurrence rate but poses concern for mesh infection. Featured is the case study of a patient who underwent laparoscopic recurrent VHR with utilization of biosynthetic mesh and removal of prior permanent synthetic mesh. During the post-operative course, the patient developed a seroma, cellulitis, and wound dehiscence. Despite these complications, the biosynthetic mesh was salvaged using conservative measures. The patient has been followed over the course of three years without hernia recurrence or other complications to date.
