Since the plug technique has been introduced, some cases of complications due to plug migration have been reported, but very late cases are exceptional. Overall, only eight cases of enterocutaneous fistula have been described in literature. [...]our case is the first report of sigmoidocutaneous fistula occurring more than 20 years after hernioplasty with plug technique, suggesting that major complications may emerge even many years after inguinal repair with mesh-plug technique.
