Minimally invasive surgery for ventral hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and able to give your informed consent (agree to participate after understanding the study).
- You must have a ventral hernia—this includes umbilical (belly button), paraumbilical (near belly button), epigastric (upper belly), spigelian (side of belly), or incisional (after a previous surgery) hernias.
- You cannot have an inguinal hernia (groin hernia).
- You cannot have a strangulated or obstructed hernia (a hernia that is trapped or blocking the intestine, an emergency).
- You cannot have had a previous hernia repair with a mesh.
- Your hernia defect (the hole in the muscle) must be no larger than 10 cm.

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 trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
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 trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
This study is testing a new way to treat and improve life with a ventral hernia (a hernia in the belly area). It's for people with an incisional hernia or a parastomal hernia.
This trial tests a study drug (AGN-151607-DP) in adults having open surgery to repair a ventral hernia in the middle of the belly. It looks at side effects and how the hernia responds to treatment.
