Abdominal wall prosthesis infections are among the complications most feared by digestive surgeons. Indeed, this complication is associated with high morbidity and is difficult to manage (antibiotic therapy? surgical revision?). Much data is missing in the literature because there are many types of prosthesis, implemented in patients with very varied conditions and the treatment is not strictly speaking codified.
