(b)(6) 2006 - patient was diagnosed with recurrent right inguinal hernia and pain thereby underwent open repair with implant of ventralex mesh (device 3).Per operative notes, " through the old right groin incision, the hernia was noted.The surface of the cord, hernia were dissected free and direct defect through the internal ring was reduced back through the defect.The old mesh (device 1) was seen drifted medially to uncover this area.Therefore, a ventralex mesh (device 3) was placed in the peritoneum over the defect.The mesh (device 3) was sewn circumferentially with sutures.The cord structures were covered with sutures and staples.".
