    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    AS REPORTED, THE PATIENT UNDERWENT VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR WITH A BARD/DAVOL PHASIX ST MESH AS A FASCIAL BRIDGE WITH SUBCUTANEOUS FAT AND SKIN CLOSED OVER TOP. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS POST-IMPLANT, THERE WAS BREAKDOWN OF THE SKIN CLOSURE AND NOW HAS EXPOSED MESH WITH MINIMAL GRANULATION TISSUE. AS REPORTED PER THE SURGEON, "I THINK THAT THE PHASIX (ST) WAS POTENTIALLY THE CAUSE, BUT I THINK IT WAS ALSO BEING USED OFF-LABEL, SO I THINK WE MAYBE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ANTICIPATE IT."
