Embodiment

[0039] Prepare patients for hernia repair surgery in a conventional manner. The patient had an abdominal hernia. Surgeons use closed or endoscopic surgery to perform repairs. After perfusing the patient's abdominal cavity in a conventional manner, the surgeon uses conventional trocars to place four conventional trocar cannulas into the abdominal cavity. A cannula serves as an entrance to a conventional endoscope, which is part of a conventional camera and remote display system. The surgeon and assistant use the remaining cannula to enter the surgical site. The surgeon and the operating team remotely visualize the body wall defect and surrounding anatomy. The surgeon determines the size of the hernia defect and selects a conventional hernia mesh implant of an appropriate size, such as the PHYSIOMESH Flexible Composite Mesh implant available from Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ08876 U.S.A.

[0040] Cut the mesh implant to the required size as needed. The surgeon then inserts a c...

Abstract

Novel stay suture devices and stay suture combinations with meshes are disclosed. The stay suture devices have a clip and a suture. The clip has leg members that are mounted to a hernia mesh implant such that the leg members are locked in a closed configuration. Also disclosed are novel methods of mounting stay sutures to a surgical mesh implant and repairing a body wall defect such as a hernia defect.

Description

Technical field [0001] The technical field to which the present invention relates is medical devices, more specifically surgical suture attachment devices used with surgical mesh implants. Background technique [0002] The repair of body wall defects and hernia defects is well known in the field of surgery. In body wall defects, especially hernia defects, the defect or opening in the body wall allows the internal peritoneum to protrude through the defect, thereby forming a hernia pocket. Normally, a part of the patient's internal organs will protrude through the body wall and be contained within the hernia bag. Although patients can live with this body wall defect without any medical intervention, it is known that complications associated with this condition may occur. First, from an aesthetic point of view, the bulge associated with a hernia can be relatively unsightly. Secondly, since a part of the internal organs can protrude through the defect, there is a possibility that ...
