Belly bulge repair with or without tummy tuck
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly area). One method also includes a tummy tuck (removing loose skin and fat). It may help women who have both a hernia and a floppy abdomen.
