Recruiting studies
- NCT07725718Recruiting
Mesh infection risk after abdominal wall repair
This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT03310905Recruiting
Abdominal wall transplant for people needing multi-organ transplant
This study evaluates an abdominal wall transplant (replacing the front belly/tissue) done along with another organ transplant. It may help people who need a specialized transplant approach, but it’s only for certain candidates at Duke who meet strict safety and cancer, pregnancy, and anesthesia requirements.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT06101979Enrolling by invitation
Fortiva Tissue Matrix for hernia repair study
This study is testing a material called Fortiva Tissue Matrix in hernia repair surgery. Researchers want to see if it works well and is safe.
Great YarmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT06717061Enrolling by invitation
Studying the normal abdominal wall in gallbladder surgery
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people having gallbladder surgery to better understand what a normal abdominal wall looks like. If you are scheduled for gallbladder removal due to gallstones and do not have certain health conditions, you may be able to help.
SkellefteåAges 18 years+ - NCT05925959Recruiting
Weight loss before abdominal hernia surgery
This trial studies whether losing weight before open abdominal wall hernia repair is safe and helpful for recovery. It may help your surgeon plan the operation more effectively, especially when a complex technique (with mesh and muscle release) is expected.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06364306Recruiting
Open vs. robotic repair for medium to large belly hernias
This trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
Kempten (Allgäu), BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06367309Recruiting
Comparing two mesh techniques for ventral hernia repair
This trial is comparing two minimally invasive surgery techniques for fixing ventral hernias (a bulge in your belly wall). One technique places the mesh inside the belly, the other places it outside the belly lining. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07476560Recruiting
Suture Mesh vs. Planar Mesh for Small Ventral Hernias
This trial compares two types of mesh used to repair small ventral hernias (belly hernias up to 3 cm). It tests whether a suture mesh works better than a standard planar mesh, helping surgeons choose the best approach.
HjørringAges 18 years+ - NCT07220382RecruitingPhase 4
Botox injections before large hernia surgery
This trial tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05734222Recruiting
Testing best surgery for certain belly wall hernias
This study focuses on improving surgical treatment for belly wall hernias that develop after surgery (postoperative ventral hernias) in the middle or side areas. To see if you fit, the hernia size is checked with a CT scan.
SamaraAges 25–88 - NCT06121466RecruitingPhase 4
Belly wall injections for abdominal pain study
This study tests whether anesthetic injections into the belly wall can help relieve abdominal pain that feels like it's coming from the muscles or tissues of the belly wall itself. It may be a good option if you have localized pain and haven't tried these injections yet.
Portland, OregonAges 18–100 - NCT03643718Recruiting
Emergency surgery and trauma patient registry online
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
PisaAges Any age - NCT07422584Recruiting
Cytokine response after hernia repair surgery
This study looks at how the body's immune system (cytokines) responds to a specific type of hernia repair called open retromuscular ventral hernia repair. It may help patients understand inflammation after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03808584Recruiting
Core muscle training after abdominal surgery to reduce hernia and pain
This study tests whether guided “core” muscle training after abdominal surgery can lower the chance of developing an incisional hernia and reduce pain. You may be eligible if you’re having abdominal surgery and can safely do the study exercise plan.
KoblenzAges 18 years+ - NCT03959904Recruiting
Compare belly-skin closure methods after kidney transplant surgery
This study looks at which abdominal wall (belly) closure technique helps reduce the chance of an incisional hernia after a kidney transplant. If you’re having a kidney transplant, it may help surgeons choose a method that lowers this complication for future patients.
ManchesterAges 18–70 - NCT07518238Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Pain Relief Methods for Abdominal Wall Surgery
This study compares two different pain-relief injection techniques (BDE and Exparel) given during abdominal wall reconstruction surgery to see which works better at reducing pain and opioid use after surgery. You would receive one of these injections as part of your anesthesia care.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04699201Recruiting
Preventing abdominal hernias after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
Tarragona, TarragonaAges 18–99

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for abdominal wall hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting abdominal wall hernia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a abdominal wall hernia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a abdominal wall hernia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
