摘要:
Devices and methods for laparoscopically repairing a hernia are described. In some embodiments, a laparoscopic instrument is used to deploy one or more tissue anchor assemblies into the edges of the fascia tissue surrounding or adjacent to the hernia defect. The tissue anchor assemblies are used to cause the fascia tissue to be approximated to facilitate the repair procedure, to improve healing, and to reduce the incidence of recurrence.
