Abdominal Abscesses and Destruction of Inguinal Canal with Mesh Dislocation caused by a Perforated Diverticulitis

الملخص EN

The diverticulitis is a frequent disease of the gastrointestinal tract.

It may lead to a variety of severe complications.

In some cases, it has to be surgically treated.

Herein, we present a rare case of a 66-year-old man, who suffered from a painful, visible “fist sized” mass of the left lower abdomen.

A perforated diverticulitis with abdominal, cutaneous abscesses and destruction of the inguinal canal with mesh dislocation was diagnosed and successfully surgically treated.
