Event Description

The following was reported to davol and is not based on medical documentation: on (b)(6) 2013 - the patient was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia and underwent repair with implant of a bard perfix plug. Ni/ni/2013 - the patient had an md office follow up exam and the surgeon removed the staples. During this procedure the surgeon decided to add an additional staple to the patient's wound. On (b)(6) 2014 - the patient had an md office exam with complaints of severe pain and a right inguinal bulge. The surgeon indicated there appears to be a recurrence of the hernia and the patient would most likely need additional surgery. The patient did not want to follow through with an additional procedure. The patient was prescribed narcotic pain medication to help relieve the pain. Ni/ni/2015 - the patient continued to experience pain and was treated at a rehabilitation facility due to a dependence on narcotic pain medication and addiction to non prescribed pain medication and/or illicit drugs. The patient was prescribed suboxone to help manage the pain and addiction to long term use of narcotic pain medication and continues to follow up with a primary care physician to help manage the pain. The patient does not want to follow up with a surgeon or have any additional surgical intervention performed at this time.
