Infection of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prostheses for abdominal incisional hernia is a rare but serious complication that often makes meshes removal necessary. Instead serous collections (seromas) without signs of infection don't require surgical removal. Differential diagnosis between infected and non-infected fluid collections is difficult and sometimes impossible before surgical exploration.

Abstract
Infection of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prostheses for abdominal incisional hernia is a rare but serious complication that often makes meshes removal necessary. Instead serous collections (seromas) without signs of infection don't require surgical removal. Differential diagnosis between infected and non-infected fluid collections is difficult and sometimes impossible before surgical exploration.File allegati a questo prodotto
