Active clinical trials for "Incisional Hernia"

It´s a pilot study, randomized, realized in the Central Hospital "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto", SLP, Mexico. Hypothesis: The polyethylene mesh is secure in open ventral repair.

The aim of the present project is to investigate whether use of biological mesh at the donor site of the rotation flap in closure of the abdominal wall reduce the frequency of incisional hernia formation compared to the usual abdominal wall closure after abdominal rotation flap operation in surgery for advanced pelvic cancer.

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

A prophylactic mesh fixation after fascial closure in umbilical trocar after cholecystectomy may prevent the trocar site hernia incidence. Especially in patients who present certain risk factors.

Today, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most frequently performed bariatric surgical method. One of the complications seen after LSG is trocar site hernia (TSH). There is no clear information about the rate of TSH detected radiologically after LSG. Thick abdominal wall and failure to adequately expose the facial defect related to this, mobility limitations due to excessive subcutaneous fatty tissue are the reasons accused for increased incidence of TSH. Demographic characteristics and postoperative weight loss of patients who underwent LSG procedure in our clinic between January 2015 and June 2017 and whose facial defects in the trocar region were repaired with the Carter-Thomason Suture Passer (CTSP) were evaluated. TSH evaluation was made both by physical examination and superficial USG by a general surgeon who had radiological training on concurrent superficial abdominal ultrasonography (USG). Detected TSHs were divided into two groups as symptomatic and asymptomatic.

Investigators will compare the incidence of incisional hernia in women who underwent midline laparotomy whose abdominal fascia was closed with barbed suture vs. conventional non-barbed suture.

Study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial evaluating two laparoscopic incisional hernia repair methods: basic laparoscopic mesh repair (lap.) and a hybrid repair (laparoscopic mesh and fascial suturation). Patients are recruited prospectively from 10 Finnish Hospitals (Oulu, Jorvi, Hyvinkää, Kotka, Seinäjoki, Valkeakoski, Lahti, Kuopio, Kokkola, Loimaa). Patients are randomized to operative groups (lap. vs hybrid). Follow-up visits are scheduled at 1- and 12-month after surgery. Patients are evaluated for their clinical status and an ultrasound scan is performed. QoL-questionnaire and pain score (VAS) are reported. The primary end-points: clinically and/or radiologically detected seroma in 1 month control clinically and/or radiologically detected recurrent hernia in 1 year control The secondary end-points: peri-and postoperative outcomes/ complications, morbidity, mortality duration of hospital stay pain scale (VAS) Quality of Life (SF/Rand36)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether drainage after prosthetic repair of incisional abdominal hernias increases or decreases complications such as infection, seromas and hematomas.

A prospective randomized study was performed including consecutive patients who underwent an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for symptomatic cholelithiasis during the 18 months period. This prospective randomized trial aims to compare two umbilical closure techniques for trocar site hernia (TSH) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

This study aim to assess long-term results of an incisional hernia-prophylactic mesh placement during stoma reversal after total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer
