Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

Laparoscopic TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) hernia repair presents a minimally invasive surgical procedure, which tends to be a gold standard in a wide range of inguinal hernia operations. Postoperative neuralgia is a troublesome complication following TAPP, which occurs in 0.2-7% of patients. The most common cause of nerve injury is an inappropriate use of electrocoagulation or dangerous tissue dissection during TAPP. However, the association between electrocoagulation employment during TAPP and postoperative neuralgia has not been investigated properly until now. The aim of the project is to compare postoperative pain (postoperative neuralgia) in patients undergoing TAPP inguinal hernia repair with/without the use of electrocoagulation.

Prevalence rates of urodynamic urinary incontinence (USI) subtypes and their related clinical and urodynamic findings in women with ≥ pelvic organ prolapse quantification stage II cystocele are important for clinical consultation, especially for occult USI. Misdiagnosis of occult USI before cystocele repair might lead to occurrence of de novo stress urinary incontinence after cystocele repair. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the above findings and between-group associations.

Soaking meshes in a vancomycin solution just prior to their use in open hernia repairs will decrease rates of mesh infection

Patients with an incisional hernia in the midline and controls with an intact abdominal wall are examined twice with one week apart, in order to establish the test-retest reliability and internal and external validity of the Goodstrength trunk dynamometer.

The Danish Hernia Database (DHD) registers 37 different perioperative parameters. The aim of present study is to use large-scale data from DHD to uncover risk factors for long-term (30 days postoperative and later) readmission, reoperation, death and reoperation for recurrence after incisional hernia repair with use of a synthetic mesh.

Expenditures on material supplies and medications constitute the greatest per capita costs for surgical missions. We hypothesized that supply acquisition at nonprofit organization cost would lead to significant cost-savings compared to supply acquisition at US academic institution costs from the provider perspective for hernia repairs and minor procedures during a surgical mission in the Dominican Republic.

The objective this study is to collect post-market data on the performance of the Zenapro™ Hybrid Hernia Repair Device when used to reinforce or bridge the abdominal wall for the repair of ventral hernias.

This study analyse the need for neuromuscular blockade in consecutive routine laparoscopic procedures without standard use of neuromuscular blockade in an ambulatory laparoscopic surgery setting and analyse specific reasons for using neuromuscular blockade in individual patients. Furthermore, the study report the analgesic use in postoperative care unit and the discharge rate.

Observational longitudinal study in children operated at birth on diaphragmatic hernia and/or oesophageal atresia : assessment of lung function parameters; assessment of quality of life and cognitive development; assessment of stress parenting and strategies of adaptation.

The Trans REctussheath PrePeritoneal (TREPP) mesh repair was introduced in 2006 to decrease the risk of postoperative inguinal pain in hernia surgery. For the repair of a recurrent inguinal hernia after a primary TREPP an alternative open anterior route (Lichtenstein) may seem the most logical option, but coincides with an increased risk of chronic postoperative inguinal pain. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a second TREPP procedure to repair a recurrent inguinal hernia after an initial TREPP repair. The hypothesis was that the technique is possible and does not lead to an increased risk of postoperative pain.
