Study of hernia repair results by hernia location
Part of Genetic & congenital, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how different hernia repairs turn out depending on where the hernia is in the body. It uses existing medical records to understand which factors may influence recovery or outcomes after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares three ways to secure mesh during groin hernia surgery to see which causes the least pain. You might join if you need hernia repair and are generally healthy.
This is a registry that collects health information from adults who have surgery for an inguinal or femoral groin hernia, whether planned or urgent, and whether it’s a first-time or recurrent hernia. It helps doctors better understand hernia care and outcomes for patients over time.
This trial compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.
This trial is comparing two minimally invasive surgery techniques for fixing ventral hernias (a bulge in your belly wall). One technique places the mesh inside the belly, the other places it outside the belly lining. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing large ventral hernias (a bulge in the belly wall). It aims to see which mesh placement method leads to better outcomes.
