When helpful becomes harmful: a case-based narrative review of esophageal mesh migration after hiatal hernia repair.
Review in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHiatal hernia (HH) repair with mesh reinforcement is a commonly performed procedure to reduce the recurrence of HH. Mesh migration (MM) remains a rare but serious complication.
aimThe aim of this study was to analyze the existing literature on MM after HH repair in the context of a clinical case discussion. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a nonsystematic narrative review supplemented by a case report.
resultA 70-year-old woman who underwent HHR with partially absorbable Seramesh PA DRUM mesh was diagnosed with MM into the esophagus 9 months postoperatively. The esophageal fistula was treated successfully with endoscopic vacuum therapy. Three-month follow-up showed stable oral intake without symptoms. MM is influenced by mesh material, fixation technique, and esophageal dynamics. Clinical presentation often includes dysphagia, pain, and weight loss, while diagnosis relies on endoscopy imaging. Management strategies vary from observation to endoscopic or surgical removal, with minimally-invasive approaches preferred when feasible. This case is the first reported instance involving the Seramesh PA DRUM mesh, and highlights the potential role of immune dysregulation and hypersensitivity in MM.
conclusionEarly recognition, individualized management, and the use of minimally-invasive techniques may improve outcomes. Continued research and long-term follow-up are essential to better understand risk factors and establish optimal treatment strategies.
