Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

This study will be conducted at Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (NRITO) n.a. Ya.L.Tsivyan, Novosibirsk, Russia. The current study is prospective observational study to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative estimation of disc herniation recurrence among patients with lumbar disc herniation using predictive mathematical model at terms 3 years postoperatively . It is expected to enroll 350 patients aged 18-70 with lumbar disc herniation. Risk estimation of disc herniation recurrence will be evaluated preoperatively, then patient will undergo conventional microdiscectomy. Postoperative eximanation will include Visits every 6-months during 3 years to evaluate clinical outcomes.

The study aims to evaluate outcomes relating to pain and QOL after robotic-assisted or laparoscopic non-complex ventral hernia repair.

The aim of the study is to investigate serum cytokine levels and the efficacy of lumbar stabilization exercises in patients with lumbar disc herniation with and without neurological deficits. Patients who applied to Hacettepe University Hospitals Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department with low back pain complaints and were referred for treatment will be included in the study.

Chimney trial is designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of specifically designated polyvinylidene fluoride mesh (PVDF, Dynamesh IPST) to controls in a multi center, randomized setting.

244 patients, who have an emergency midline laparotomy for any gastrointestinal reason, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio either to mesh group with a retrorectus prophylactic self-gripping mesh or to control group with 4:1 small stitch closure by continuous monofilament suture. They will be followed up at 30 days, 2 and 5 years to detect the incidence of incisional hernia.

Inguinal hernia repair-the most common general surgery operation in the U.S.-provides a unique opportunity to improve outcomes for older patients by changing surgical practice. Nearly 80% of inguinal hernia operations are performed under general anesthesia versus 15-20% using local anesthesia, despite the absence of evidence for superiority. The choice of anesthesia has particular implications for older adults because they face substantial short- and long-term risk of cognitive and physical decline after exposure to general anesthesia. Consequently, the American College of Surgeons and the American Geriatrics Society have identified a critical need in surgery: determining which operations have better outcomes when performed under local rather than general anesthesia. Currently, the evidence for choosing an anesthesia technique for inguinal hernia repair in older adults is inconclusive. Several small randomized trials and cohort studies have suggested that using local anesthesia for hernia repair reduces morbidity by one-third, unplanned readmissions by 20%, and operative time and costs by 15% while other studies showed no significant differences. However, there are significant flaws in these studies that severely limit their applicability to older adults: (1) They mainly focused on younger patients with limited comorbidity burden, largely ignoring individuals aged 65 years and older, (2) They did not adequately examine the effects of general anesthesia on cognitive function and quality of life for older adults and their caregivers, (3) They did not consult with stakeholders to identify outcomes relevant to those groups. The current study aims to address these limitations to determine the ideal anesthesia modality for inguinal hernia repair.

The purpose of this study is to use the " Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves " to collect the pulse information of recruited subjects, and to extract characteristic pulse information by multi-scale entropy, Fourier transform, Hilbert yellow transform, spectrum analysis, wavelet analysis and other methods. Evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of the "Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves" in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.

This observational, retrospective study aims to examine surgical outcomes in non-elective surgery for incisional hernia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 30-day morbidity short- and long-term surgical outcomes Data will be retrospectively collected from participating centers and compared. Researchers will compare surgical outcomes of the minimally invasive and laparotomic approaches to see if there are relevant differences in surgical outcomes.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of written and video based home exercise program in patients with symptomatic lumbar disc herniation on pain level, function and quality of life.

The SYN 20-01 Study is a non-interventional, prospective, multicenter, multicohort, international, post-market clinical investigation looking into the assessment of GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial in focused patient populations and in long-term application. Patients with ventral / incisional hernia amenable to hernia mesh repair will be enrolled into two cohorts (US and EU cohort) and followed-up over the period of 60 months.
