(b)(6) 2014 - patient was diagnosed with recurrent bilateral inguinal hernias thereby underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic repair of recurrent right inguinal hernia with the removal of mesh (device 1) and implant of perfix plug (device 4), open repair of left inguinal hernia with the implant of perfix plug (device 5).Per op notes, "omental adhesions were taken down on both left and right mid abdomen.Explored on the right side, the mesh (device 1) was dissected off the anterior abdominal wall.Then a medium perfix plug (device 4) was placed into the abdominal cavity.Attention was then turned towards the left inguinal area; there is herniated fat anterolaterally consistent with a "lipoma of the cord¿.Another medium perfix plug (device 5) was placed to the internal ring."
