Testing best surgery for certain belly wall hernias
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hernia that formed after a previous operation
- Your hernia is located in the middle or on the side of the abdomen
- CT scan shows the hernia opening (“hernial gate”) is between 4.1 and 15 cm
- Your hernia must be a postoperative ventral hernia (not another type)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial tests a cold treatment to relax the belly wall muscles before surgery to fix a large hernia. It may help the surgery go more smoothly and improve results.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
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.
This study compares two ways to place a mesh (a supportive patch) during surgery to fix a large hernia in your belly. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for patients.
This study compares minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for repairing ventral hernias, which are bulges in the belly area. The goal is to see which method leads to better outcomes, such as less pain and faster recovery.
This study tests a structured exercise program for people with abdominal wall hernias. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve strength, mobility, and overall health, which may help you feel better and recover more easily.
