CT findings of complications after abdominal wall repair with prosthetic mesh
Open accessAbstract
Postoperative complications following prosthetic mesh repair are relatively rare and depend on the type and location of prosthetic mesh. They include abscess, hematoma, seroma, fistula, bowel obstruction, mesh retraction, granuloma and recurrent hernia. Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging examination of choice for the diagnosis of such complications. This pictorial review illustrates the CT presentation of the most and less common postoperative complications following prosthetic mesh repair of the abdominal wall.

In abdominal wall endometriosis, infiltration above 5 mm of wall depth involving the parietal peritoneum may cause severe postoperative complications.
“It is worth mentioning that in abdominal wall endometriosis, when there is an infiltration above 5 mm of the wall's depth involving the parietal peritoneum, there may be severe postoperative complications [29][30][31] .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
