ABSTRACT:
A patch is made from a rolled up first flat sheet of polypropylene or polytetrafluroethylene surgical mesh. One end of the rolled up mesh has multiple slits to provide multiple flared out flaps stitched to a second flat sheet of surgical mesh. The patch is compressed into a longitudinal cylindrical structure and is inserted through a trocar into an opening of a hernia. The rolled up first flat sheet is inserted through the opening and the flaps and second flat sheet are stapled to the patient's tissue adjacent the opening.
