Per additional information provided: on (b)(6) 2019 - patient was diagnosed with multiple recurrent ventral hernia thereby underwent robotic repair with implant of ventralight st mesh (device 1).Per op notes, ¿an left subcoastal incision was made.Recurrent ventral hernia with the mesh separated from the left superior side was noted.Most of the prior mesh was well incorporated but the part near the recurrence was free and removed.Then underlay repair was performed by placing a ventralight st mesh (device 1) facing the abdominal viscera and secured to the fascia with suture.¿ (note: the prior mesh visualized during this procedure was unknown) on (b)(6) 2019 - patient was diagnosed with recurrent ventral hernia thereby underwent open repair with excision of ventralight st mesh (device 1) and implant of bard soft mesh (device 2).Per op notes, ¿the previous midline wound was opened.Adhesions to the anterior abdominal wall were freed.The prior mesh (device 1) was removed.Seprafilm was placed under the abdominal closure.The abdominal wall was then closed with sutures.A bard soft mesh (device 2) was placed and secured to the fascia with suture.¿ on (b)(6) 2020 - patient was diagnosed with incarcerated recurrent ventral hernia thereby underwent open repair with excision of bard soft mesh (device 2) and implant of synthetic mesh.Per op notes, ¿midline incision was made over the previous incision.Umbilical stalk was then detached.The hernia sac was excised and a knuckle of bowel was significantly adhesed to the previously placed mesh (device 2).The small bowel was dissected free from the mesh.Some localized adhesions to the small bowels were taken down and this was reduced.Majority of the previously placed mesh (device 2) was removed.A synthetic mesh was placed and secured with sutures.¿.
