Brief Summary:

The objective of this study is to collect efficacy, safety and utility data with Phasix™ Mesh in ventral and incisional repair procedures by evaluating the following:

  1. Hernia recurrence rate of ventral and incisional hernias post repair with Phasix™ Mesh for up to 12 months post surgery.
  2. Perioperative, short-term and long-term procedural and/or device related complications.
  3. Abdominal Wall Function and mobility.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Recurrent Ventral and Incision Hernias Post Repair With Phasix™ Mesh [ Time Frame: up to 24 months post surgery ]
    Number of participants with recurrent ventral and incision hernias post repair with Phasix™ Mesh. Hernia recurrence is measured by physical exam.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Physical Component Summery [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12. Physical component summery. Assessment of physical limitations such as bathing, dressing, or physical activities. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate someone with many limitations, while high scores indicate someone with no or few limitations.

  2. Role Emotional Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Role emotional subdomain. This assesses if the patient experiences problems with work or other daily activities as a result of their emotional health. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate the patient experiences many problems at work or with other daily activities as a result of poor emotional health. High scores indicate no problems with work or daily activities as a result of emotional health.

  3. Physical Functioning Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Physical Functioning subdomain. Assesses ability to perform physical activities, including bathing and dressing one's self. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate many limitations with physical activities. High scores indicate no problems with physical activities.

  4. Role Physical Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Role physical subdomain. Assesses ability to perform physical activity such as bathing and dressing one's self. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate problems with physical activities. High scores indicate no problems performing physical activities.

  5. Bodily Pain Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Bodily Pain subdomain. Assesses level of bodily pain. scales range from 0-100. low scores indicate a severe level of pain that is limiting. High scores indicate a low level of pain or no pain-related limitations.

  6. General Health Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 General Health Subdomain. Assesses level of general health related to . Scales 0-100. low scores indicate poor general health, and high scores indicate good general health.

  7. Mental Component Summery [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Mental Component Summery. Assesses level of mental health. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate nervousness and depression. High scores indicate feeling peaceful, happy, and calm.

  8. Vitality Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Vitality subdomain. Assesses level of energy. Scales range from 0-100. Low scores indicate low levels of energy, while high scores indicate high levels of energy.

  9. Social Functioning Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Social Functioning subdomain. Assesses ability to participate in normal social activities without difficulties due to physical or emotional health problems. Scores are normalized to 0-100, with 50 being the national normalized mean. Lower scores indicate many difficulties with normal social activities due to physical or emotional health problems. Higher scores indicate little or no difficulties with normal social activities due to physical or emotional health problems.

  10. Mental Health Quality of Life Outcome [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 months, 24 months ]
    Quality of life survey- Short Form 12 Mental Health subdomain. assesses level of mental health. Scale ranges from 0-100. Low scores indicate depression and nervousness. High scores indicate feeling peaceful, happy, and calm.

  11. Abdominal Wall Mobility [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]
    Abdominal wall strength will be measured using the trunk mobility measurements, curl up performance test and EPIC lift capacity test preoperatively, 3 months (+/- 1 month) postoperatively and 12 months postoperatively.

  12. Abdominal Wall Function [ Time Frame: up to 12 months post surger ]
    Abdominal wall strength will be measured using the trunk mobility measurements, curl up performance test and EPIC lift capacity test preoperatively, 3 months (+/- 1 month) postoperatively and 12 months postoperatively
