Comparing two hernia repair methods (open vs. camera-assisted)
This study compares two ways to fix a hernia that appears after a previous belly surgery: one uses a larger cut (open surgery) and the other uses smaller cuts and a camera. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery.
MoscowAges 18–90 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06306976Enrolling by invitation
Shear-wave test before hernia surgery
This trial uses a special ultrasound (shear-wave elastography) to measure tissue stiffness before and after hernia repair. It aims to see if this test can predict complications and help choose the best surgical approach.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04982653RecruitingPhase 2
Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05939687RecruitingPhase 3
Mesh placement to help prevent complications after bowel surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.
MoscowAges 18–85 - NCT06762561Recruiting
Mesh reinforcement after open aneurysm repair
This study is looking back at patients who had open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a special mesh placed to prevent future hernias. Researchers want to see how well the mesh worked over time.
Villars-sur-GlâneAges 18 years+ - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07744230Enrolling by invitation
Preventing hernias after liver transplant with a mesh
This study tests whether placing a special mesh during a liver transplant can prevent hernias from forming later. It is for patients who have certain risk factors that make hernias more likely.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64

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.
