Root cause is inconclusive; no conclusion can be made as to the extent to which the implant may have caused or contributed to the patient's postoperative course.This emdr represents the sepramesh ip (device #5).An additional emdr was submitted to represent the collamend mesh (device #1).Additional supplemental emdrs were submitted to represent and composix kugel mesh (device #2) and ventralex mesh (device #3).Note: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
