Active clinical trials for "Incisional Hernia"

The objective of this prospective, multi-center post-market study is to prospectively collect uniform, evidence based outcomes for patients undergoing open, laparoscopic or robotic assisted hernia repair. The outcomes that will be collected include various routine clinical parameters, short term patient reported outcomes (quality of life, pain scores) and long term hernia recurrence information. Patients will be treated according to standard of care at the surgeon's institution and patients will be followed up to collect information related to complications information and patient satisfaction associated with the hernia repair procedure.

The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in tension after each release in a standard posterior component separation during abdominal wall reconstruction.

Hernia pathology is one of the leading causes of surgery worldwide. For asymptomatic patients, surgery remains questionable. Although there are new European recommendations, the practice of digestive surgeons regarding the management of asymptomatic hernias is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the practices of a large population of digestive surgeons with asymptomatic hernia.

The Danish Ventral Hernia Database (DVHD) registers 37 different perioperative parameters. The aim of present study is to use large-scale data from DVHD to uncover risk factors for readmission, reoperation (any indication), death and reoperation for recurrence after incisional hernia repair.

LIFE-IN. Quality of life after operation for hernias are not well investigated and lack a good and easy-to-understand-tool to measure it. Carolina Comfort Scale (CCS) is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, designed by an American group, to monitor quality of life in patients undergoing operation for hernias. The investigators wish to test this questionnaire against Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for core-hernia symptoms, to see if the CCS is a good way to monitor the changes in quality of life and other well-known core-symptoms before and after herniotomies.

Use of informed algorithm for patients selection of prophylactic mesh aplication after midline laparotomy in emergency surgery.

Observational Study analyzing the long-term results of prophylactic mesh used for preventing incisional hernia after emergency midline laparotomies.

Trocar site incisional hernia (TSIH) is the most frequent complication associated to laparoscopic surgery. Few studies currently describes its real prevalence or risk factors. The aim of this study is to determine the real incidence of TSIH and to identify risk factors in the investigator's series of patients. A cross sectional, prospective study is performed including consecutive patients who underwent a laparoscopic procedure during a four months period. All the patients are assessed both clinically (TSIHc) and by an ultrasonographic exam (TSIHu). Main variable studied is the incidence of TSIH. A multivariate analysis is performed to identify risk factors.

Objective: The objective of the study is to verify and validate the data collected in the EVEREG Incisional Hernia Surgery Registry between 2012 and 2018 through an audit process. Methods: An audit of registered cases (Incisional Hernia Patients undergoing surgery) from 2012 to 2018, and a descriptive analysis of these data will be performed Expected results: The study could show that the EVEREG Incisional Hernia Registry is a reliable source of information, valid for carrying out specific and exhaustive analysis that may lead to high quality publications. Relevance: The standardization of the data collection is very important to compare outcomes between different centers. This study will allow us to verify the accuracy of the collected data

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.
