Fecal fistula: a late complication of Marlex mesh repair.

Marlex mesh is an excellent prosthetic material for closure of major abdominal defects. Most of its complications are seroma and infections. We have used Marlex mesh intraperitoneally for closure of burst abdomen in a patient who had a gastrectomy for recurrent duodenal ulcer. A year and a half later, this patient developed a fecal fistula to the skin due to incorporation of the Marlex mesh into the splenic flexure of the COLON. The patient underwent a second operation during which the fistula was resected and the Marlex removed. We concluded that intraperitoneal placement of Marlex mesh is not recommended.

Traumatic rupture of a left-sided liver and postoperative acute respiratory failure in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome.

A case is described of abdominal trauma and rupture of a left-sided liver in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome (situs inversus, bronchiectasis, sinusits). Exploratory laparotomy, left thoractomy, cholecystectomy and hepatic artery ligation were necessary to control hemorrhage. Special attention was paid to the patient's respiratory condition postoperatively via physiotherapy and analgesia. The importance of identifying this three-part syndrome and especially the bronchiectasis is emphasized.
