Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Abdominal"

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare preoperative intensive weight management to upfront surgery in obese patients undergoing complex abdominal wall reconstruction. The main question is will abdominal wall specific quality of life (using the HerQLes survey) for the group undergoing upfront surgery be non-inferior compared to the group in the weight management program.

The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety bilateral recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) in epigastric hernia.

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators will compare the conventional open repair for hernia in the anterior abdominal wall with the robotic-assisted approach. 110 patients with midline abdominal wall defects will be randomized to either open or robotic-assisted surgery. The investigators will examine short and long-term complications through follow-up with clinical assessment as well as patient-reported outcome measures including pain, cosmetic appearance, and overall patient satisfaction. Furthermore, the investigators will study the difference in surgical stress response between the two methods measured from a variety of different biomarkers before and after the operation. A cost-effective analysis will be conducted for the robotic and open procedure.

By comparing the time of closing the hernia ring, the degree of pain, and the recovery of gastrointestinal tract in different groups Intervening, infection, recurrence and medical cost, to find out whether patients with abdominal wall hernia have different hernias It is the best way to close the hernia ring under laparoscopy and provide evidence based medicine. with In the research process of the research group, a database on abdominal wall hernia will be established for the future Further study of hernia has laid a solid foundation.

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the main complication of surgery. The prevention of superficial SSI by topical prophylaxis is controversial. Human studies on wound lavage with topical solutions (saline, antiseptics or antibiotics) are old and do not yield conclusive results. In experimental conditions there is evidence in favor of the efficiency wound lavage with saline and antibiotic solutions. Clinical studies are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of antibiotic lavage. Objective. Study of the efficacy of topical antibiotic therapy in the prevention of SSI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery with different risk of infection. Method. Project comprising several randomized double-blind clinical trials with a common methodology. Procedures with varying degrees of contamination, as emergency abdominal surgery, cesareans and complex abdominal wall reconstructions will be studied. Follow-up will be 30 days after operation. Data will be collected anonymously and the relationships between the variables will be analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, survival analysis and analysis of risk factors as appropriate. The effect of topical antibiotic on hospital stay, resistance patterns in SSI, and antibiotic serum levels will be analyzed.

Pediatric epidural anesthesia has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgery. The loss of resistance technique is the gold standard for the placement of the epidural. The VPC (visual pressure control) syringes developed by PAJUNK enable direct visualization of the introduction of the needle into the epidural space.

Comparison between hernioplasty alone versus concomitant abdominoplasty with ventral hernia repair regarding efficacy and post-operative recurrence of hernia.

The general objective of the study is to confirm the medium/long-term safety and clinical performance of the CELLIS membrane used in abdominal wall reconstruction including, but not limited to, ventral hernia repair and stoma closure, and to identify emerging risks in comparison to the clinical data related to other types of fixation material. The present study will be a prospective multicentric non-randomized and noncontrolled trial involving 112 patients followed for 24 months. The study will be conducted in France in 3 investigational centres.

Ventral hernias form when there is a loss of integrity of the abdominal wall muscles. Abdominal hernias can expand and can cause severe pain as the abdominal wall weakens. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a range of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) doses to achieve primary fascial closure (PFC) without use of component separation technique (CST) in ventral hernia surgical repair. BOTOX is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of ventral hernias. In this dose escalation study, participants will be placed in 1 of 3 cohorts. Cohort 1 will be randomized to receive placebo or 1 of 2 BOTOX doses, after which time Cohort 2 will be randomized to receive placebo or 1 of 3 BOTOX doses. Participants in Cohort 3 will be randomized to receive placebo or 1 of 3 BOTOX doses. Adult participants undergoing open abdominal ventral hernia repair will be enrolled. Around 200 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 20 sites in the United States. Participants will receive a single intramuscular injection of BOTOX Dose A, BOTOX Dose B, BOTOX Dose C, or placebo. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will be followed for approximately 3 months after surgery and will receive a follow-up phone call 30 days (+/-) their last study visit. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
