Event Description

It was reported by an attorney that the patient underwent hernia repair surgery on (b)(6) 2006 and mesh was implanted. It was reported that the patient underwent recurrent hernia repair surgery and removal surgery on (b)(6) 2018 during which the surgeon noted a large ventral hernia through an approximately 16 cm wide defect containing multiple loops of the small bowel, which was noted to have herniated both superiorly and to the right laterally around the previously placed abdominal wall mesh. Upon entering the abdominal cavity, he noted numerous fascial defects, including that several loops of bowel had herniated. He also encountered a hernia sac containing an incarcerated loop of mid-ileum which was grossly necrotic and perforated, as well as a murky fluid and intestinal contents within the hernia sac. It was reported that the patient experienced chronic severe pain. No additional information was provided.
