RECRUITINGHernia Recurrence - Primary Device Endpoint
Clinical diagnosed hernia recurrence in the area of the initial hernia repair (within device overlap at time of index procedure).
Time frame: Through 24 months
Incidence of SSI - Primary Procedural Endpoint 1
Incidence of SSI, reported as a composite and individually.
Time frame: First Post-Procedural Visit (Days 1-45)
Incidence of SSO - Primary Procedural Endpoint 2
Incidence of SSO, reported as a composite and individually.
Time frame: First Post-Procedural Visit (Days 1-45)
Incidence of SSOPI - Primary Procedural Endpoint 3
Incidence of SSOPI, reported as a composite and individually.
Time frame: First Post-Procedural Visit (Days 1-45)
Freedom from potential device-related SAEs - Secondary endpoint 1
Freedom from potential device-related Serious Adverse Events will be reported descriptively with no formal goals or hypothesis.
Time frame: Through 24 months
Re-intervention at study-treated location - Secondary Endpoint 2
Surgical re-intervention in the area of the hernia repaired initially (e.g. drain insertion, infection, surface issues, second operation, etc.) will be reported descriptively with no formal goals or hypothesis.
Time frame: Through 24 months
Change in Quality of Life in Carolinas Comfort Scale - Secondary Endpoint 3
For ventral hernia subjects; change in Quality of Life in Carolinas Comfort Scale as measured by a change in total score of the Carolinas Comfort Scale Quality of Life questionnaire given at follow-up visits. Minimum Total Score is 0 and maximum Total Score is 115. Lower score means better outcome.

Relief from GERD Symptoms - Secondary Endpoint 4
For diaphragmatic hernia subjects; relief from GERD symptoms as measured by a decrease in the total score of the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) questionnaire given at follow-up visits. Total Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 1-15. Greatest possible score (worst symptoms) = 75 Lowest possible score (no symptoms) = 0 Heartburn Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 1-6. Worst heartburn symptoms = 30 No heartburn symptoms = 0 Scores of ≤ 12 with each individual question not exceeding 2 indicate heartburn elimination. Regurgitation Score: Calculated by summing the individual scores to questions 10-15. Worst regurgitation symptoms = 30 No regurgitation symptoms = 0 Scores of ≤ 12 with each individual question not exceeding 2 indicate regurgitation elimination.
Time frame: Through 24 months
