Prosthetic mesh for laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia

摘要

An implantable prosthetic mesh for repair of an inguinal hernia. The prosthetic mesh includes a conforming soft mesh portion and two displaced portions each having a three dimensional shape and constructed of a stiffer mesh material. The soft mesh portion can be draped over the tissue and spermatic cords, and the two three-dimensional portions formed from the stiffer mesh material are adapted to enter into and be received deep within the respective space defined in the anatomy at each of direct and indirect spaces surrounding the inferior epigastric vessels.
