Testing a method to close the abdominal wall after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 22 and 80 years old.
- You’re planning a midline abdominal surgery (a cut down the center).

- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or lower.
- No implanted mesh is planned where the closure will happen.
- There is no stoma/ostomy located within about 4 cm on either side of the midline closure area.

This trial studies which incision closure technique leads to fewer wound problems after planned abdominal surgery. If you’re having elective midline surgery, your surgeon may use one of two closure methods to help determine the safest approach.
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 tests a special stitching tool to close holes in the stomach after removing abnormal growths. It may help patients heal better after a routine procedure to remove suspicious tissue.
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.
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.
This trial compares two ways of closing the layer under your skin after abdominal surgery to see which leads to better healing and fewer complications. You'll be randomly assigned to either have this inner layer stitched or left unstitched.
