The purpose of this study is to describe the outcomes of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair surgery and to record the outcomes of patients after surgery.
For subjects who agree to participate in this study, participation will last for 1 year. Subjects will undergo all the routine preoperative testing, the same as would be required if they were not participating in this study. This testing includes a blood sample and an electrocardiogram (ECG). Follow up visits will be done at 2 weeks after surgery, 6 weeks after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. Except for the 1 year visit, these office visits are routine and would be requested even if you were not participating in this study. At each of these visits, subjects will be asked about their level of pain and the amount and type of pain medication their are taking. Data gathered for this study will be on outcomes only.
