摘要
The use of mesh plug in hernioplasty was introduced by Shulman et al in 1990 as a ＂rolled plug＂ fixed with two stitches to close the internal inguinal ring. Robbins and Rutkow described their mesh plug technique in 1993. In the following years, this technique and the type and size of plug have been modified deliberately by others. The technique now is commonly used to repair inguinal hernia but complications occur because of migration of mesh plug after open inguinal hernioplasty. We present a case of strangulated bowel obstruction-resulting from migration of mesh plug after open inguinal hernioplasty.
