About this trial

This is an interventional screening trial for Abdominal Hernia focused on measuring position of the mesh, recurrence rate, surgical procedure, long time outcome

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • During the two-year randomization period at the joined centres all patients were included who were admitted with abdominal wall or umbilical hernia and who suited the requirements.
  • All the patients with primer or first recurrence of postoperative abdominal or primer or first recurrence of umbilical hernia were randomized into this study.
  • For involvement into the study good patient compliance, signed consent form, normal local circumstances were needed.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ages fewer than 18 or above 70 years
  • Hernia orifice under 5 cm2.
  • Planned or accidental intraoperative opening of any bowel.
  • Unstable parameters of circulation, uncontrollable diabetic or autoimmune disease.
  • Severe renal or hepatic failure
  • Advanced stage of tumours or currently treated malignancies.
  • Inflamed or muddy content of hernia sac.
  • If the patient did not signed the consent form.
