Hybrid repair for large belly hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a newer way to fix a type of belly hernia (an incisional hernia) that happens after prior surgery. They are comparing a hybrid repair method to the standard open repair to see if it helps with healing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for a hybrid hernia repair (a combination of open and minimally invasive techniques).
- Your hernia opening is between 4 and 10 centimeters wide (as measured by your doctor).
- You can read and understand Dutch well enough to fill out questionnaires.
- You are not pregnant and are not in any other research studies that could interfere.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (not more than severe illness, according to the anesthesiologist's rating).

This study compares two ways to fix a hernia that appears after a previous belly surgery: one uses a larger cut (open surgery) and the other uses smaller cuts and a camera. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery.
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.
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
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 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 tests two minimally invasive surgical methods for fixing a hernia near the belly button. It aims to find which approach works better and has fewer complications.
