Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

This study will enroll subjects who underwent a ventral hernia repair using the AlloMax Surgical Graft at least 9 months in the past. All subjects who underwent a ventral hernia repair using the AlloMax Surgical Graft at least 9 months in the past will be contacted and asked to take part in this clinical 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.

The risk for recurrence after ventral hernia repair is often based on reoperation rates with short follow-up rather than recurrences identified by clinical examinations. The purpose of current study is find the real incidence of recurrences 3 years after ventral hernia repair and to compare with the reoperation rate.

Evaluation of long-term results for chronic pain and impairment of daily activities after endoscopic total extraperitoneal repair of recurrent inguinal hernia with inguinal pain questionnaire (IPQ).

LIFE-IN. Quality of life after operation for hernias are not well investigated and lack a good and easy-to-understand-tool to measure it. Carolina Comfort Scale (CCS) is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, designed by an American group, to monitor quality of life in patients undergoing operation for hernias. The investigators wish to test this questionnaire against Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for core-hernia symptoms, to see if the CCS is a good way to monitor the changes in quality of life and other well-known core-symptoms before and after herniotomies.

Use of informed algorithm for patients selection of prophylactic mesh aplication after midline laparotomy in emergency surgery.

Trocar site incisional hernia (TSIH) is the most frequent complication associated to laparoscopic surgery. Few studies currently describes its real prevalence or risk factors. The aim of this study is to determine the real incidence of TSIH and to identify risk factors in the investigator's series of patients. A cross sectional, prospective study is performed including consecutive patients who underwent a laparoscopic procedure during a four months period. All the patients are assessed both clinically (TSIHc) and by an ultrasonographic exam (TSIHu). Main variable studied is the incidence of TSIH. A multivariate analysis is performed to identify risk factors.

The material cost for robotic groin hernia repair is higher than for conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this study, this amount will be quantified and possible differences in early postoperative course, hospital stay and readmission rate that could influence the cost/benefit ratio for robotic groin hernia surgery will be analyzed.

The present study is a case series study, conducted to introduce a common disease of abdominal wall which has received less attention in scientific resources. The study population was all patients who following repeated hospital visits did not improve, and for their last try, they visited a traditional clinic, and were diagnosed with umbilical hernia.

The theory of "undissected Spermatic cord (US)" only transected the hernia ring ends in the abdominal cavity, the hernia ring, hernia sac and spermatic cord will not be dissected. Its significance lies in that inguinal hernia repair can get rid of the "entanglement" of hernia sac and spermatic cord and fundamentally change the treatment mode of hernia ring and hernia sac.

Objective: The objective of the study is to verify and validate the data collected in the EVEREG Incisional Hernia Surgery Registry between 2012 and 2018 through an audit process. Methods: An audit of registered cases (Incisional Hernia Patients undergoing surgery) from 2012 to 2018, and a descriptive analysis of these data will be performed Expected results: The study could show that the EVEREG Incisional Hernia Registry is a reliable source of information, valid for carrying out specific and exhaustive analysis that may lead to high quality publications. Relevance: The standardization of the data collection is very important to compare outcomes between different centers. This study will allow us to verify the accuracy of the collected data
