Laparoscopic Hernia Defect Obliteration With ProFlor-E

Laparoscopic Fixation Free Obliteration of Inguinal Hernia Defect With the 3D Dynamic Responsive Implant ProFlor-E - Feasibility Study

This feasibility study highlights the features of the 3D dynamic responsive prosthesis ProFlor-E® for fixation free obliteration of inguinal hernia defect

The 3D dynamic-responsive prosthesis for inguinal hernia repair ProFlor-E® recently introduced to the market has been laparoscopically employed for the repair of one recurrent inguinal hernia previously managed with anterior open approach. The scope of this feasibility study is to demonstrate that the positive effects of the 3D implant already proven in open inguinal hernia repair are also effective or even superior for the laparoscopic of recurrent/bilateral inguinal hernias compared to conventional treatment concept.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with recurrent inguinal hernia already repaired with open approach or suffering by bilateral inguinal hernias

Exclusion Criteria:

• ASA >4 patients
