Glue-only mesh fixation for ventral hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new method to fix a hernia using glue instead of stitches during laparoscopic surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-sized hernia on the belly or side, who are healthy enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having planned hernia surgery (not an emergency).
- Your hernia is between 4 and 8 centimeters wide (about 1.5 to 3 inches).
- You are not having other surgeries at the same time (like gallbladder or stomach surgery).
- You do not smoke or use tobacco.

This study looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to repair a groin (inguinal) hernia using a 3D “visible” mesh, with or without an added fixation method. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are planning a laparoscopic repair, this trial may be an option to discuss with your surgical team.
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 is testing a new system (ECLIPSIUM) for fixing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well for people with a single midline hernia (ventral, umbilical, or incisional) that is small to medium size (1-5 cm). If you qualify, the study will help doctors repair your hernia with a special mesh that may reduce complications.
This trial tests whether combining weight-loss surgery with a mesh repair for a midline ventral hernia works better and is safer than another approach. It may help people who have both severe obesity and a specific type of hernia reduce hernia problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether using a flap of your own hernia sac to cover the mesh during hernia repair can improve healing. It's for people with a complex hernia that touches a bone, like near the breastbone or pelvis.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) using a mesh placed from inside the abdomen. It may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
