NCT ID:
NCT01520168
Brief Summary:
From its introduction in 2000 until its US recall in December 2005, the Composix Kugel Mesh was implanted in an estimated 350,000 patients worldwide.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate retrospectively the complications related to this mesh that occurred in our patients between 2003 and 2005, since new complications continue to be diagnosed, although the investigators discontinued the use of the mesh.
Detailed Description:
From 2003 to 2005(2006) we implanted Komposix Kugel Meshes in 21 Patients with incisional ventral hernias. With the recall of January 2006 (in Germany), we stopped the implantation of this mesh and continued to monitor the patients with follow up and phone interviews. Late complications still continue to occur, mainly as a consequence of the product defect identified 7 years ago.
