This study will enroll subjects who underwent a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair utilizing Sepramesh at least 12 months before starting in this study. The consented subjects' medical records will be reviewed for evidence of any risk factors of hernia recurrence, procedure time, complications and any documented recurrences. The subjects will be asked to undergo a physical exam to rule out any recurrences that were not documented in the medical records.

Hernia Recurrence Rate of Hernias Post Repair With Sepramesh.
A recurrent hernia is a hernia, confirmed by the Investigator at any point after the surgery, in the same location as the hernia repaired in the index procedure.
Time frame: 12 months or greater (average follow-up time of 3 years; range 13-65 months)
Complications in Subjects With Hernias Repaired With Sepramesh.
Complications will be assessed by evaluation of the procedural and device related adverse events (AEs) documented in the subject's medical files from the time surgery was initiated until the day the subject had a postoperative visit (that is, the protocol specified postoperative visit for conducting a physical examination).
Time frame: 12 months or greater (average follow-up time of 3 years; range 13-65 months)
Procedural Time for Sepramesh Placement.
Procedure time will be defined as beginning when the Investigator made the initial incision and ending when the skin closure was completed (skin to skin).
Time frame: Day 0
Recovery Time Associated With Hernias Repaired With Sepramesh.
Recovery time will be defined as the time it took for the subject to return to work.
Time frame: 12 months or greater (average follow-up time of 3 years; range 13-65 months)
