Colocutaneous fistula associated with Crohn's disease after mesh repair for inguinal hernia has not been previously reported in the literature. We report such case in an 83-year-old man following a preperitoneal repair of a left-sided inguinal hernia using Kugel patch. The patient has Crohn's disease in remission status for 4 years. One month after inguinal hernia repair, he presented with fever and left-sided inguinal pain and swelling. Computed tomography revealed abscess formation in the preperitoneal and subcutaneous space of the left-sided inguinal region. Colonoscopy showed local exacerbation of Crohn's disease in the sigmoid colon, and formation of fistula between the sigmoid colon and abdominal wall of the left-sided inguinal region. We performed mesh removal with Hartmann resection following percutaneous abscess drainage. The post-operative course was uneventful, and no sign of recurrence of the hernia was found for 3 years post-operatively.
腹股沟疝修补术后并发克罗恩病相关的结肠皮肤瘘,此前文献中未见报道。我们报告了1例83岁男性患者,该患者采用Kugel补片行左侧腹股沟疝腹膜前修补术后出现上述情况。患者克罗恩病处于缓解状态已4年。腹股沟疝修补术后1个月,患者出现发热、左侧腹股沟区疼痛及肿胀。计算机断层扫描显示左侧腹股沟区腹膜前及皮下间隙形成脓肿。结肠镜检查显示乙状结肠克罗恩病局部加重,且乙状结肠与左侧腹股沟区腹壁之间形成瘘管。我们在经皮脓肿引流后行补片取出术及Hartmann切除术。术后病程平稳,术后3年未发现疝复发迹象。
