New classification for first-time umbilical hernia repair

This study looks at how patients feel and function after surgery to fix a small, first-time umbilical hernia (a bulge near the belly button). Your feedback will help doctors understand what matters most to people like you.

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.

This trial compares two types of stitches for repairing small umbilical hernias (hole in the belly button) to see if dissolving stitches work as well as permanent ones. It helps understand if one option leads to fewer complications or better recovery.

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 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.

This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
