Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

Laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia with the totally extraperitoneal approach (TEP) is indicated for simple and bilateral inguinal hernias. It consists of placing a large prosthesis in the posterior position by direct access to the extra-peritoneal space. This prosthesis is interposed between the defective wall and the peritoneum. Unlike the transperitoneal laparoscopic method, the strictly extraperitoneal approach reduces complications related to contact with the intestinal loops and preserves the peritoneal layer intact. TEP approach is traditionally performed under general anesthesia with curare and orotracheal intubation. In the study, we would like to assess this intervention without curare and without standard orotracheal intubation but with a laryngeal mask airway to permit ventilation.

Liver transplant recipients share the risk with cirrhotic patients for the development of inguinal hernias, but their liver failure pathophysiology has reversed following transplantation. Despite immunosuppression alters wound healing and infections, inguinal hernia repair in transplanted patients has shown better outcome compared to cirrhotic patients. Endoscopic inguinal hernia techniques have proved to be superior to open repair, due to lower incidence of postoperative complications and short-term convalescence, but there is no evidence of the use of this approach in liver transplanted patients. This prospective consecutive case series study will be the first study to describe the postoperative results of groin hernia repair in ambulatory surgery regimen in liver transplanted patients using totally extraperitoneal approach. The included patients will be prospectively registered in a standardized database. Rate of completion of surgery by totally extraperitoneal approach without the needing of conversion to anterior open approach or transabdominal preperitoneal approach due technical difficulties will be evaluated. Postoperative complications all along with quality standards criteria of ambulatory surgery will be reported for descriptive purposes.

We wish to use the images a mother would have done as part of her normal medical care and make both 3D animations and 3D models of the baby and it's CDH. This will both help the parents see what the problem is and also allow the surgeons, who will operate on the baby once it has been born, to see the size of the hole and what organs are in the wrong place.

The potential value of biological and biosynthetic meshes is their ability to integrate and remodel the wall in a contaminated environment in complex surgical situations. However, postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate for biologic prostheses are high. The delay to evaluate biosynthetic prostheses is not enough at present, and the high cost of biological prostheses requires a parsimonious use of this type of material. The interest of absorbable biosynthetic prostheses remains to be demonstrated in terms of postoperative complications and long-term recurrence. Current studies have been done on groups with few subjects and in clean surgery. The primary purpose is to describe the number of complications of the operative site at 12 months, including infectious and noninfectious complications as hematoma and seroma type. The secondary purpose is to describe the number of recurrent ventral hernia at 12 months. The ventral hernia repair is a frequent operation of general surgery. Thanks to this descriptive work considering the new therapeutic offer with absorbable polymers, it would make possible to update the knowledge of the surgeons and to bring new elements of discussion in the surgical decision.

This study is a follow-up of the GRECCAR 07 cohort (NCT01380860). Patients will be evaluated 5 years following terminal colostomy to observe patient long-term patient outcomes from colostomy with and without mesh placement.

The objective of this study is to develop a predictive model of IH based on machine learning with the use of the XGBoost technique, this will help surgeons in charge of abdominal wall closure to have objective support to determine high-risk patients and in them modify the closure technique or use a mesh according to their choice or the degree of contamination of the abdominal cavity.

The cohort registry is both retrospective and prospective, multicenter surveillance of subjects who underwent a prior hiatal hernia repair and Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation or fundoplication construction more than 2 years prior to initial study visit.

Prospective registry. The purpose of this clinical trial will be to measure surgical outcome parameters (e.g. recurrence, chronic pain and other quality indicators) after inguinal hernia repair using Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in the short- and long-term.

The objective of this study is to establish the extent to which mesh improves quality of life and surgical outcomes following hernia repair.

In France around 5,000 colostomies are performed after elective or emergency surgery. These colostomies could be associated with major outcomes including parastomal hernia (4 - 53%) of cases. To reduce the incidence of these outcomes, several methods have been proposed but the more pertinent consist in the use of a biological mesh during the stoma's conception. Nevertheless there is no data on the use of a biological mesh (StratticeTM) for the prevention of parastomal hernia.
