Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Ventral"

The use of synthetic mesh to repair infected defects of the abdominal wall remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of using PVDF mesh to treat infected abdominal wall defects in the elective setting.

The current study aims to determine if transverse abdominis plane block using local anesthetic agents (bupivacaine 0.25% + Ropivacaine 0.20%) decreases the post operative pain and helps in early mobilization or discharge from hospital in patients undergoing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.

The primary endpoint of this study will determine if subjects receiving a continuous infusion of local anesthetic following laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, with the pain pump installed as described to treat post surgical pain will have a lower incidence of pain than those patients treated with a placebo, saline-filled pain pump.The secondary endpoint of this study will determine if subjects receiving a continuous infusion of local anesthetic following laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, with the pain pump installed as described to treat post surgical pain will have a lower utilization of narcotic analgesic medication than those patients treated with the placebo, saline-filled pain pump.

Method of fixation of the mesh in laparoscopic incisional / ventral hernia repair might influence the degree of postoperative pain. The study hypothesis is that there is no difference in postoperative pain between different methods to fix the mesh in laparoscopic incisional / ventral hernia repair.

This study is being conducted to gain a better understanding of the quality of life for patients with a diagnosis of primary and recurrent incisional hernias and 1) who decline to have surgery to repair the hernia or 2) patients who cannot have surgery because their health will not allow them or 3O if surgery to repair the hernia is completed. A comparison will be made between those who receive surgery and those who do not.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of a preoperative pulsed electromagnetic field and abdominal exercises on muscle strength post ventral hernioplasty.

The aim of this study is to prove the superiority of the robotic assistance in laparoscopic repair of abdominal wall hernias . In this monocentric randomized controlled trial, the use of the DA VINCI robot might reduce the post-operative pain of the patient resulting in a 40% reduction of morphine consumption.

Hernia of the abdominal wall occur frequently after various surgical procedures of the abdomen and are increasingly performed by laparoscopic means. Different mesh fixation techniques are applied, but the influence of mesh fixation on shrinkage is not known in human patients. Therefore, mesh shrinkage was assessed using two different techniques for fixation.

Recent years, lots of treatment teqnique have development. We aimed that comparising the normal and small size meshes in the inguinal hernia patients.

Clinical, controlled, randomized, prospective study. Ventral hernias between 2(1.5)cm and 7 cm, laparoscopic surgery with intraperitoneal onlay mesh. Three randomization groups of 25 patients giving a total of 75 patients. Mesh is fixated with either Protack, Securestrap or Glubran II. Primary outcome: postoperative pain on the 2nd postoperative day. Secondary outcomes: pain, quality of life, recurrence and adhesions at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months postoperative.
