FORMATION OF A PLUG AND PATCH FROM BIOLOGIC MESH FOR USE IN PERFORATED FEMORAL HERNIA

Objectives: Incarcerated inguinal hernias with contamination frequently lead to an open inguinal hernia primary repair. If no contamination is present, a tension free repair with mesh is a good option. In this case, we encountered an incarcerated femoral hernia with perforation of the small bowel. We will describe and demonstrate via video how to incorporate a tension free repair with mesh in a contaminated field with formation of a plug and patch made from biologic mesh.
