Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Abdominal"

Cirrhotic patients have a high incidence of abdominal wall hernias. Ascites and sarcopenia are risk factors to development of bigger hernias and frequent need for urgent surgery due parietal complications. However, hernia surgery is usually delayed in cirrhotic patients because of high morbidity and mortality. Methods: A prospective study of cirrhotic patients with abdominal wall hernia during January 2009 to November 2014. Demographics, characteristics of underlying liver disease, type of hernia, complications and mortality of 246 enrolled patients were collected. Elective hernia repair was performed in 57 unselected patients, 186 patients were kept in clinical follow up. During follow up urgent hernia surgery was performed when unavoidable

This study evaluates the abdominal closure technique in emergency surgery. Half of participants will be perform the classic Large Stitch technique, while the other half will undergo the Small Stitch technique.

Observational, Retrospective, Multi-center Clinical Study on the Safety of SAFIL® MESH in Patients Undergoing Reinforcement of Soft Tissues After Abdominal Wall Surgery or Other Fascial Defects

Aim of the work This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effect of botox injection in abdominal wall muscle post major abdominal surgery in terms of postoperative pain, incidence of incisional hernia Study design and setting This is a double-blind prospective randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in the general surgery department and colorectal surgery unit of Mansoura University hospital in the period from June 2019 to June2020. The patient's recruitment process will be started and continued for one year after getting the approval from the local Institutional Review Board in Mansoura University in concordance with the Helsinki Declaration Principals. The data will be collected and analyzed prospectively. A signed informed consent will be obtained from every patient before enrollment highlighting the possible future publication. On request, patients can be excluded from the study at any time if they do not want to continue.

The main goal of this study is to describe the trends in the incidence rate of internal hernia presentation after different modifications of the mesenteric closure technique after primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery from 1997-2009.

The study was aimed at determining the magnitude, types, and associated factors of external abdominal hernia among adult patients visiting the outpatient department at the Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (HFCSH) and Jugol regional hospital in eastern Ethiopia.

This study is to investigate the rate of internal hernia after laparoscopic Rox-en-Y gastric bypass when the defects are closed using cyano-acrylate glue.

The best approach for lateral incisional hernia is not known. Posterior component separation (reverse TAR) offers the possibility of using the retromuscular space for medial extension of the challenging preperitoneal plane. The main objective of the study was to describe the surgical techniques used and their outcomes in the open lateral approach for the treatment of L3-L4 European Hernia Society (EHS) classification Incisional hernias, comparing the results between reverse TAR and pure lateral retromuscular preperitoneal, and analyzing the short- and long- term complications, including patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs). The study report followed the recommendations for reporting outcomes in abdominal wall hernias, and the new international classification of abdominal wall planes (ICAP). A multicenter retrospective observational study was conducted using a prospectively maintained database from three university hospitals in Spain specialized in complex abdominal wall reconstruction. All patients undergoing open abdominal wall repair through the previous lateral incision for L3-L4 IHs between February 2012 and January 2020 were identified. All patients were operated on by the senior surgeons responsible for the complex abdominal wall units of each participating center. Prior to conducting the study, the approval of the local ethics committee was obtained (ID:39/2019). Written informed consent was also obtained. The diagnosis of IH was based on clinical examination and imaging from a computed tomography (CT). The investigator only included patients with L3-L4 IHs. Patients with primary lateral hernias, such as Spiegel, Grynfelt and Petit hernias were excluded. We also excluded all patients in which the lateral IH was a parastomal hernia. Demographic data, patient comorbidities, different classifications of hernia complexity, Carolinas Equation for Determining Associated Risks (CeDAR) and intraoperative and postoperative data were collected All patients followed a similar preoperative optimization program, which included endocrinologic and nutritional evaluations, respiratory physiotherapy, and abstinence from smoking at least 1 month before surgery. Weight loss was extremely recommended but without any mandatory prerequisite.

The rate of hernia recurrence at one year following repair of a large abdominal hernia with a biologic mesh is high, ranging from 30% to 100%, with a reported historic average rate of 40%. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of hernia recurrence at one year following repair with SurgiMend 3.0, an FDA-cleared novel biologic mesh, the hypothesis being that such rate will be less than 20% at one year, representing a 50% reduction over the historic rate of 40%.

The aim was to evaluate outcomes after epigastric hernia repair in women on a nationwide basis. The primary outcome iss recurrence - secondary outcomes are readmission, operation for complication, risk factors for recurrence, and readmittance.
