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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07628205Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Botulinum Toxin to Help Close Large Belly Wall Hernias
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
Legnano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06195332Recruiting
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 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventral incisional hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting ventral 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 ventral 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 ventral 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.
