Event Description

As reported on (b)(6) 2018, the patient underwent the repair of bilateral inguinal hernias. The hernias were repaired with bard/davol soft mesh (lot # hubx1610). It is reported that shortly afterwards, the patient developed irritation and local pain with intermittent swelling at the surgical sites. He also has developed over recent months multiple symptoms including increased fatigue, weight loss, and ¿allergies¿ to some foods including raw apples and potatoes and to multiple medications. At this time the allergist is not certain what is causing these symptoms and would like to obtain a sample of the mesh to rule this out.
