Sažetak
We present a case of a 58-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal pain. He underwent incisional ventral hernia repair with intraabdominal mesh (ePTFE). On the day of admission, physical examination included the discovery of a foreign body in the rectum. There were no signs of acute abdomen. We induced stool, and the mesh came out with it. His further course was uneventful. Gastrografin series showed persisting fistula between the small intestine and colon, but without extralumination into the peritoneal cavity. The patient was discharged in good health and without signs of incisional ventral hernia.
