Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

Number of Participants With Hernia Recurrence [ Time Frame: 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months, 18 Months, 24 Months, >24 Months ]
A recurrent hernia was defined as any hernia identified or confirmed by the investigator, during any study follow-up visit, in approximately the same position as the hernia repaired in the study procedure. Potential hernias identified via incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan were evaluated by the operating surgeon for clinical significance and confirmation of hernia recurrence.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

Number of Participants With Device Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
In this study, a device-related adverse event is defined as any undesirable clinical event occurring in the abdominal space including the lower abdominal, inguinal and pubic regions (including the skin), as well as any other undesirable clinical events judged to be related to the study device or surgical procedure regardless of anatomical region.
Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS) Total Score - Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months postoperative ]
The Carolinas Comfort Scale is a short, hernia-specific 8-category questionnaire designed to measure patient perception of symptoms and patient satisfaction with a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (disabling symptoms). The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 - Physical Component Summary (Change From Baseline) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months postoperative ]
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 is a multipurpose, 12-item health survey that measures seven domains of health: general health, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health (role-physical), role limitations due to emotional problems (role-emotional), bodily pain, vitality and mental health, and social functioning. It yields two summary measures of physical and mental health: the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The scores range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health. The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 - Mental Component Summary (Change From Baseline) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months postoperative ]
Short Form (SF)-12 Version 2 is a multipurpose, 12-item health survey that measures seven domains of health: general health, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health (role-physical), role limitations due to emotional problems (role-emotional), bodily pain, vitality and mental health, and social functioning. It yields scale scores for each of these seven health domains, and two summary measures of physical and mental health: the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The scores range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health. The change was calculated as the mean value at 24 months minus the mean value at baseline.
Surgical Procedure Time [ Time Frame: Duration of index procedure (mean of 242.5 mins) ]
Measured from incision to closure (skin to skin).
Length of Hospital Stay [ Time Frame: 10 Months ]
Measured from end of index procedure to hospital discharge
Number of Study Related Post Operative Surgical Procedures [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
Number of Study Related Post Operative New Hospital Admissions [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
Number of Related Post-operative Visits Unrelated to Standard of Care [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
Incidence of Seroma [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
