The surgeon performed an open recurrent incisional hernia on (b)(6) 2012 using a surgimesh xb e-1522 which went well with no apparent problems.
On (b)(6) 2013 notification was received from the operating room director indicating that the surgeon had removed the xb implanted on (b)(6) 2012.
In speaking with the surgeon, several attempts to eradicate a post-operative seroma via aspiration and drainage were made without success.
Due to this, the decision was made to reoperate.
At reoperation, the surgeon found serous fluid around the mesh.
As a result, the xb was removed and replaced with a biologic mesh.
