Abstract
Evidence of polypropylene mesh degradation has revealed particle accumulation in surrounding tissues, raising concerns about potential local and systemic immune responses. Associations between polypropylene degradation and autoimmune/autoinflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants-like symptoms have been made, and vigilant clinical assessment is important, especially in patients with a predisposition for allergy or autoimmune diseases.
