- NCT05599750Recruiting
Suture versus mesh surgery for incisional hernia
This trial compares two surgical options—closing with stitches (suture) versus using a surgical mesh—to repair an incisional hernia. It may help find which approach works best for preventing problems and improving recovery for people with certain hernia sizes.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04358159Recruiting
Compare Ventralex and onlay mesh for small hernias
This study compares two types of surgical mesh used to repair small incisional hernias (or hernias that came back after a previous repair). It may help determine which mesh works better and with fewer problems.
KarlskogaAges 18–100 - NCT07549113Recruiting
Preoperative prep methods for large abdominal wall hernias
This trial compares different ways to prepare your body before surgery to repair a large hernia (bulge in your abdominal wall). The goal is to find the best approach to help you heal well after surgery.
Krasnodar, Krasnodarskiy KrayAges 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 - 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 - NCT07544238Recruiting
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ventral Hernia Repair
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
Madrid, MadridAges 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+ - NCT07316426Recruiting
Preparing for ventral hernia surgery
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
Gällivare, Norrbotten CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07192978Recruiting
Does activity before surgery affect recovery after hernia repair?
This study looks at whether how active you are before hernia surgery can affect your recovery. It may help doctors give better advice to future patients.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05596357Recruiting
Study during hernia surgery to understand patient experience
This trial enrolls adults who are scheduled for planned hernia/abdominal wall surgery to learn more about patients’ experiences and follow-up through questionnaires. If you qualify and agree, your study participation may help improve how care is planned around surgery.
Colombes, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–79 - NCT07720154Recruiting
Using hernia sac flap to cover mesh in bony-edged hernia repair
This trial tests whether using a flap of your own hernia sac to cover the mesh during hernia repair can improve healing. It's for people with a complex hernia that touches a bone, like near the breastbone or pelvis.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT04794582Recruiting
Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
This trial looks at ways to prevent an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgical scar) after your first kidney transplant. If you’re getting a first transplant, joining could help test treatments or strategies that lower this post-surgery complication.
MadridAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT04718168Recruiting
Test of Gore ENFORM patch to reinforce certain hernia repairs
This study looks at whether the Gore ENFORM biomaterial patch helps reinforce the stitch line in specific ventral or hiatal hernia repairs. It will compare outcomes after surgery and follow patients for healing and safety.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06864377Enrolling by invitation
Ventral Hernia Improvement of Treatment and Life
This study is testing a new way to treat and improve life with a ventral hernia (a hernia in the belly area). It's for people with an incisional hernia or a parastomal hernia.
KøgeAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07766044Recruiting
Comparing two ways to close belly surgery cuts
This study compares two methods of closing the cut made during belly surgery to see which one is less likely to cause a hernia later. It is for people having planned colorectal surgery through a midline incision.
Helsingborg, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07531615Recruiting
Abdominal Pressure Monitoring During Hernia Repair Surgery
This study measures abdominal pressure before, during, and after hernia repair surgery to understand how the body responds to treating hernias. It may help doctors improve surgical techniques and patient recovery.
Nice, Alpes-MaritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT06858020Recruiting
Hernia prevention after abdominal surgery study
This trial tests if a preventive measure during open abdominal surgery can reduce the chance of developing a hernia later. It is for patients who are having a midline cut that is closed later, not right away, and who are over 18.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for incisional hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting incisional 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 incisional 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 incisional 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.
