This is a case of constant groin pain occurring after an inguinal hernia mesh plug and patch inguinal hernia repair. Removal of plugs requires careful dissection and some significant bleeding can be expected, as was encountered in this case, especially when the plug is adherent to the iliac artery or epigastric vessels.
