Abstract

The use of a mesh has been an advance in hernia repair and subsequently has become prevalent worldwide. However, the use of mesh may be associated with both non-infectious and infectious complications. We present here a representative case of a mesh-related infection due to Staphylococcus aureus and review the available data about the incidence, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prevention of this emerging type of foreign body infections.
