Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Ventral"

A pre-operative physical conditioning and weight loss intervention (prehabilitation) compared to standard counseling prior to ventral hernia repair for obese patients (BMI 30-40 kg/m2) at a safety-net hospital results in a higher proportion of patients being hernia- and complication-free 2 years after surgical consultation.

This is a prospective multicenter study of patients diagnosed with a medium to giant incisional hernia (transverse defect >7 cm). Patients referred to the surgical outpatient clinic are invited to participate in the study. As a standard, all patients who are examined for incisional hernia undergo CT scan according to a hernia protocol, before planning of surgical repair (baseline scan). After this CT scan, patients are seen in the out-patient clinic once again and either treated conservatively without surgery, or scheduled for elective surgical repair of the hernia. If surgery is planned, the patients participating in the study undergo an additional CT scan in hernia protocol, within two weeks prior to surgery (follow-up scan). If a conservative non-surgical approach is chosen, patients can still participate in the study and will undergo an additional CT scan after 28-32 weeks.

It´s a pilot study, randomized, realized in the Central Hospital "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto", SLP, Mexico. Hypothesis: The polyethylene mesh is secure in open ventral repair.

Repairing of emergency (strangulated) abdominal wall hernias with mesh may cause infective complications.

The investigators are testing to see if infusion of bupivicaine between the mesh and abdominal wall can reduce postoperative pain and decrease use of narcotics in the postoperative setting.

The aim of the present project is to investigate whether use of biological mesh at the donor site of the rotation flap in closure of the abdominal wall reduce the frequency of incisional hernia formation compared to the usual abdominal wall closure after abdominal rotation flap operation in surgery for advanced pelvic cancer.

This is a prospective randomized study to compare surgical methods for the repair of large abdominal hernia.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the remifentanil requirements in deep versus moderate neuromuscular blocks during the surgical pleth index -guided anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic herniorrhaphy.

The orifices of all inguinal and ventral (including Spigelian) hernias were carefully recorded at the beginning of laparoscopy (n=201) of other reason (cholecystectomy, fundoplication) in 2003-5. The patients with occult hernias (n=43) were followed-up 15 years to find out what percentage of hernias would become symptomatic.

Aim of the work In this study, we will evaluate posterior component separation (TAR) technique with or without Botox injection for open huge ventral hernia and large abdominal wall defect repair. The primary outcome will be recurrence while the secondary outcome will be infection, postoperative complications (bleeding and dehiscence), pain score, operative time, hospitalization, need for drain, time for drain removal and pulmonary function test before and after surgery. This prospective clinical study will be performed on 40 eligible patients admitted to general surgery department at Mansoura University Hospi
