Prosthetic repair patch with suture retaining structure

A prosthetic repair patch has a sheet and a plurality of retaining structures connected thereto. The sheet, with first and second sheet surfaces, completely under covers a hernia in tissue of a patient with the first sheet surface adjacently abutting a first surface of the tissue that faces away from a person installing the patch. The retaining structures are connected to the sheet in a spaced apart configuration and are configured for retaining a suture passed therethrough, each suture being initially passed from the second tissue surface through the first tissue surface, through at least one retaining structure, and back through the first tissue surface and out of the second tissue surface. Suture ends of each suture may then be drawn away from the second tissue surface to draw the first sheet surface into local and adjacent abutment with the first tissue surface and attached to one another.
