ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for laparoscopic repair of hernia defects are disclosed. The apparatus includes an applicator for introducing a section of surgical mesh into the abdominal cavity with that applicator having the structure and capability for spreading a section of surgical mesh within the abdomen of a patient and holding it in place for subsequent attachment over a hernia defect. The procedure involves the use of such an applicator introduced through a trochar into the abdomen of a patient that has been insufflated to establish a pneumoperitoneum, then exposing and reducing the hernia and applying the surgical mesh thereover and affixing it across the hernia defect to prevent the intra-abdominal contents of the patient from extending therethrough and then subsequently withdrawing the applicator and any such trochar and closing any openings made by those trochars through the abdomen wall.
