Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery and carries a significant burden for both patients and the economic health service. However, no consensus for the surgical treatment of incisional hernia in contaminated field is currently available. The purpose of the COMpACT-BIO study is to investigate the clinical and economic benefit of the use of biosynthetic mesh in contaminated incisional hernia repair.

This study is designed to evaluate the post-operative complications and hernia recurrence following the use of OviTex in subjects with ventral or inguinal hernias. Up to 160 subjects will participate in the study from up to 20 investigator sites.

Umbilical hernia repair is one of the most common surgical performance in general surgery. Up to now, the use of suture repair has been the preferred technique for small umbilical hernia defects without any gold standard procedure. Mesh have been reserved to larger umbilical hernia defects. However, there is an increasing evidence that mesh reinforcement could be advantageous to lower the high recurrence rates also in smaller umbilical hernias. A remained important question is in what anatomical position the mesh should be placed. The investigators hypothesize that the use of an onlay mesh in small umbilical hernia defects can reduces recurrence rates without increasing postoperative complications compared to a suture repair.

Self-fixed mesh and postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, a randomized clinical trial

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

This study aims to evaluate the potential role of physical therapy in improving outcomes after ventral hernia repair.

Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the most frequently applied method is laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP). In general, this surgery is performed under general anesthesia (GA) in many centers. However, in cases where general anesthesia is inconvenient, local or other anesthesia methods are preferred. It has been stated in many studies in the literature that this surgery can be performed with methods other than general anesthesia. In a study of 480 patients, one of which was Sinha et al., it was shown that this surgical procedure was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In a prospective randomized study by Dönmez et al., patients who underwent TEP under general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were compared. It has been reported that TEP repair can be performed safely under SA and that SA is associated with less postoperative pain, better recovery, and better patient satisfaction than GA.2 In a retrospective study by Yıldırım et al. It has been shown that there is significantly less need for analgesics and better patient satisfaction. There are also many meta-analyses made on this subject in the literature. Compared with GA in these, SA was associated with a longer operative time, and postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting were less in SA. However, the risk of urinary retention in SA was significantly increased. It was observed that there was no significant difference in surgical complications such as seroma and wound infection. Despite all these studies, until now, there is no clear consensus on which anesthesia should be used. The aim of the study is to compare the results of spinal anesthesia with nerve block and general anesthesia in TEP repair.

The aim of this study is to measure the mesh shrinkage and the visualization of the mesh with MRI scan at 1 month and 13 months after robot assisted preperitoneal hernia repair using the visible CICAT mesh (Dynamesh®).
