Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07843225Recruiting
Standard versus mesh-reinforced closure for incisional hernias
This trial is comparing two ways to repair incisional hernias: the standard method versus a newer technique that combines a mesh with the tissue closure to make the repair stronger. The hope is that this new approach leads to fewer hernias coming back after surgery.
Berisso, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07840183RecruitingPhase 4
Epidural versus other pain relief for open ventral hernia repair
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hernia repair surgery: using an epidural (a small tube in your back that delivers pain medicine) versus other pain medications that aim to reduce opioid use. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07755657Recruiting
Robotic single-port surgery for belly hernias
This study tests a robotic single-port technique to repair primary belly hernias in the midline. It may help patients with less scarring and possibly a quicker recovery.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06611462Recruiting
Strong for surgery: prehab before hernia repair
This trial tests a 4-week program of exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle support before ventral hernia surgery to help reduce complications. If you have a hernia smaller than 8 cm and at least one health risk factor, this might help you prepare for a safer recovery.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06457971Recruiting
Anovo robot for ventral hernia repair
This trial tests a new robotic system called Anovo for repairing ventral hernias. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for this type of surgery.
BonheidenAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07422441Recruiting
Guided abdominal wall closure for large hernia repair
This trial tests a new way to close the abdominal wall after surgery for a large hernia, using lung compliance measurements to guide the closure. It aims to improve recovery by finding the best closure technique for each patient.
GdanskAges 18 years+ - NCT07226791RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a drug for ventral hernia repair surgery
This trial tests a study drug (AGN-151607-DP) in adults having open surgery to repair a ventral hernia in the middle of the belly. It looks at side effects and how the hernia responds to treatment.
Riverside, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06874413Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for frail older adults before hernia surgery
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hernia repair surgery helps frail older adults recover better. The program includes physical exercises and breathing muscle training.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 65 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05472987Recruiting
Robotic vs open surgery for a ventral hernia
This trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04779918Recruiting
Robotic hernia repair using OviTex implant mesh
This trial studies whether using a specific implant “mesh” (OviTex) during robotic hernia surgery helps patients heal well and report less pain and better quality of life over time. It may be an option if you have a ventral or inguinal hernia planned for elective robotic repair.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 21 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventral hernia repair?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 27 recruiting ventral hernia repair 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 ventral hernia repair 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 ventral hernia repair 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.
