Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for your first kidney transplant
- You have not had a previous (second or later) kidney transplant
- Your transplant plan is your first time receiving a kidney

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.
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.
This study tests whether using a synthetic mesh during abdominal closure can reduce the chance of a hernia forming after open abdomen surgery. It may help patients who had their abdomen left open and then closed surgically.
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.
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.
This study tests if using an extra mesh patch to strengthen the belly closure during emergency surgery helps prevent hernias later. It compares this with just stitching the belly closed as usual.
