On (b)(6) 2015 the patient was brought back for an exploratory surgery to debride some tissue in the area of the hernia repair.
On (b)(6) 2016 the patient was again brought back as the xb e-2226 was "bunched up" in an area.
The xb e-2226 was removed and in the area where it had been the abdominal wall was solidly healed with no more hernia defect showing.
The patient was closed and healed uneventfully.
The surgeon stated that the situation was not related to the performance of the xb e-2226 but rather the patients health status which includes vascular disease.
