ABSTRACT:
A method and system for the repair of hernias through laparoscopic techniques including plugging and patching, the system comprising a first assembly having a tubular sheath; a tubular plunger located within and moveable with respect to the sheath, the plunger having a distal end spaced proximally of the distal end of the sheath and a proximal end extending proximally of the proximal end of the sheath; a plug within the sheath at the distal end and moveable from interior thereof to exterior thereof upon manipulation of the proximal ends of the sheath and plunger by a surgeon. The system further comprising a second assembly having an other tubular sheath; an other tubular plunger located within and moveable with respect to the other sheath, the proximal end of the other plunger extending proximally outwardly of the other sheath for manipulation by a surgeon; elongated means extending through the other plunger and, at the distal end thereof forming a loop, the proximal end of the elongated means extending proximally outwardly of the other sheath for manipulation by a surgeon; and a patch supported on the loop for movement therewith.
