Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

The study is prospective and double blind. In the clinic, patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery that meet the criteria for inclusion into the study and agreed to participate in the study will be randomized into two groups. In the first group of patients will receive Nitrous Oxide and In the second group of patients will receive oxygen during the general anesthesia.

This study is a prospective, multi-center study to monitor the early safety and performance of one iteration of the Barricaid Anular Closure Device (ACD) - 6mm anchor width, when used as an adjunct to limited discectomy.

This study aims to explore the difference in outcomes relating to pain and quality of life after open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair.

Previous evidence has shown that kinesio tape application reduces pain levels and improves disability in patients with chronic low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. However, it is not known, whether the dynamic taping can decrease back pain, improve endurance of paraspinal muscles, and improve functional capacity in patients with lumbar disk herniation. The aim of the current study is to examine the acute effects of dynamic taping on pain, pain threshold, endurance, balance, lumbar joint mobility and functionality in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

The study aims to explore the difference in outcomes relating to pain and quality of life after open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted retromuscular ventral hernia repair.

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of a modified d'Hoore technique for laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy in patients with primary rectal prolapse, rectocele and/or enterocele.The goal of the study will be achieved by reporting the peri- and postoperative complications ((serious) adverse events), recurrences and re-interventions. Pre-operative to postoperative changes in pain, functional outcome and quality of life will be evaluated as well.

Observational study on laparoscopic and robotic extraperitoneal mesh repair of parastomal hernia, employing TAR.

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the performance of the Biodesign® Hernia Graft when used to reinforce soft tissues during ventral hernia repair.

The purpose for this research is to create a MyChart-enabled virtual coach that assists obese patients lose weight prior to ventral hernia surgery. Researchers intend to show how the use of a virtual coach is more effective in preoperative weight reduction prior to ventral hernia repair over usual care. Correspondingly, this may lower unplanned hospital readmissions. For this clinical trial, where randomization is not possible, the study team will implement the use of propensity score matching that sorts individuals into different study arms as if randomly assigned. The primary outcome is the average net amount of time-dependent weight change per group over six months. Secondary outcomes are for the intervention group, patient satisfaction with the virtual coach and for both groups, quality of life. In addition, areas of social and economic disadvantage will be identified that may contribute to higher obesity rates. Machine learning (ML) modeling will be used to determine the important features for weight lost over the course of the study. The impact of this work will be to demonstrate efficacy and realized workflow efficiencies within a hospital-based surgery clinic.

The large hiatal hernia (LHH) now represents approximately 50% of laparoscopic antireflux surgical practice. In a non-comparative retrospective study of 399 patients operated for LHH with onlay patch of a bioprosthetic absorbable (Gore® Bio-A® HH0710) mesh with a mean follow-up of 44 months, 16% had a symptomatic recurrence with 7,9% requiring reoperation, one patient had oesophageal stenosis. No comparative effectiveness data exist to date. Hypothesis: the incidence of postoperative hiatus hernia would be reduced by the addition of biosynthetic absorbable mesh reinforcement to a standardized suture repair technique, as compared to laparoscopic repair without mesh, without increasing the risk of complications. The main objective is to compare the radiologic recurrence rate at 2 years between standardized herniorrhaphy with onlay biosynthetic absorbable mesh repair versus standardized herniorrhaphy with no mesh in symptomatic LHH.
