Figure 8. Bowel adherence to the mesh. A 71-year-old woman with a polypropylene (PP) and a posterior expanded polytetrafluorethylene (e-PTFE) mesh inserted for ventral hernia and successive episodes of subocclusive ileus. In CT the small bowel is seen in contiguity with the e-PTFE mesh (thick arrow). Surgical exploration confirmed adherence of the small bowel to the PP and e-PTFE meshes. Also noted small hernia on the left of the e-PTFE mesh.
