Surgery plus Botox for large incisional hernia
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.
- You have a hernia in the middle of your belly, at least 10 cm wide, seen on a CT scan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
This trial tests a new surgical approach for repairing large incisional hernias (a bulge from a past surgery). It may help you get better results with a stronger closure.
This trial compares different ways to prepare your body before surgery to repair a large hernia (bulge in your abdominal wall). The goal is to find the best approach to help you heal well after surgery.
