Management and Outcome of Mesh Infection After Abdominoplasty in a Tertiary Care Centre

Management and Outcome of Mesh Infections After Abdominoplasty in a Tertiary Care Center in France

Hernia repair is among most frequent surgical interventions. The use of abdominal mesh in hernia repair has become the Gold Standard strategy, reducing the risk of relapse.

The mesh infection risk is estimated lower than 1% in simple situations, but can increase up to 20% in complicated patients. Risk factors are well known, but we lack data regarding the therapeutic strategies and outcomes.

This study aims to describe the characteristics and management of abdominal mesh infections, and the related outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• parietal mesh infection
• age > 18

Exclusion Criteria:

• Non French speaking patients.
• Persons under tutorship or curatorship.
