Recruiting studies
- NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07608653Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for recurrent groin hernias
This trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgical technique to repair inguinal hernias that have returned after previous surgery. The goal is to evaluate how well this approach works and what outcomes patients experience.
SohagAges Any age - NCT06220045Recruiting
Comparing two meshes for closing abdominal incisions in urgent colon surgery
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT04583644Recruiting
Fetal airway balloon procedure for severe left lung underdevelopment
This pilot study tests a fetal procedure (placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s airway) to improve lung growth in pregnancies affected by severe left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). You may be eligible if your baby’s condition is isolated to the left side and the testing shows very high lung underdevelopment, and if you can meet study and payment requirements.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06039800Recruiting
Hernia surgery outcomes at Shouldice Hospital
This study asks patients who had hernia surgery at Shouldice Hospital about their recovery and results. It helps doctors understand how well the surgery works.
Thornhill, OntarioAges 16 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 - NCT07615036Recruiting
Natural Opening Specimen Removal in Colon Surgery
This study tracks a newer surgical technique where the removed colon or rectum is pulled out through the body's natural opening (like the anus or mouth) instead of through a larger cut in the belly. Researchers want to understand how safe and effective this approach is compared to traditional methods.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07639281Enrolling by invitation
Opioid Education for Ventral Hernia Repair Surgery
This study teaches patients about opioid pain medication before hernia repair surgery. It aims to help patients make informed decisions about pain management and understand safer opioid use.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–85 - NCT06063577Recruiting
A study to see if a special stitch can prevent hernia after belly surgery
This trial tests whether using a special type of suture (called Stratafix Symmetric) during surgery can help prevent an incisional hernia from forming after abdominal or gastrointestinal cancer surgery. If you are having certain types of major abdominal surgery, this study might be an option for you at the West Michigan Cancer Center.
Kalamazoo, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06996561RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
How your genes affect pain relief after surgery
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - NCT05488288RecruitingPhase 3
Weight-loss surgery plus mesh repair for ventral hernia
This trial tests whether combining weight-loss surgery with a mesh repair for a midline ventral hernia works better and is safer than another approach. It may help people who have both severe obesity and a specific type of hernia reduce hernia problems after surgery.
ColombesAges 18–60 - NCT06499324RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery plus Botox for large incisional hernia
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
Colombes, FranceAges 18–79 - NCT06934564Recruiting
Cutting unnecessary tests before low-risk surgeries
This study helps surgical teams cut down on unnecessary tests before common low-risk surgeries, like breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair. It aims to improve patient care by reducing extra, unneeded procedures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06220058Recruiting
Preventing hernias after emergency colorectal surgery
This study compares two ways of closing the belly after emergency colorectal surgery to see which one better prevents hernias. If you need this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
Girona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07591207Recruiting
Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07346742Recruiting
Preventing infection in children's groin surgery
This study tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein and using special stitches that fight germs can help prevent infections after open groin surgery in children. It may be helpful for children having routine groin surgery as a day procedure.
Ile-Ife, Osun StateAges Up to 15 years - NCT06926374Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05330910Recruiting
Repair of a stomach valve during sleeve weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT06731855Recruiting
Recovery study: blood markers in newborns after intestine surgery
This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hernia surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 44 recruiting hernia surgery 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 hernia surgery 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 hernia surgery 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.
