Testing a new abdominal closure material in high-risk repeat surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special reinforcement material (TIGR Matrix) helps surgeons close the abdominal wall more safely than routine closure. It is for people having repeat abdominal surgery who have several serious health risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having repeat (reoperation) abdominal surgery
- You are older than 80 years
- You have a cancer that has spread to distant parts (distant metastases)
- You have advanced COPD with poor lung function (FEV1 under 50% of expected)
- You have at least one current major risk issue such as low albumin, severe anemia, sepsis, steroid use, or recent cancer treatment

This trial studies a way to close the abdominal wall after a midline abdominal surgery. It aims to see if the closure method improves healing and lowers complications after the operation.
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.
This trial studies ActiGraft to help heal an abdominal surgical wound that has reopened and needs a second closure. It may help the wound close more effectively when the wound is still early but has been open for more than 24 hours.
This trial is studying whether one type of stitch (polyglactin) works better than another (polypropylene) for closing the belly wall after abdominal surgery. It may help reduce the risk of hernias or other complications.
This study looks at how a special mesh called TIGR® Matrix affects quality of life, safety, and effectiveness after breast reconstruction surgery. It is for women who need or choose to have their breasts removed and reconstructed.
This trial compares two ways to close the abdomen after emergency surgery. One uses a mesh to strengthen the closure, and the other uses standard stitches. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications.
