Stitch vs no stitch for ulcer repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a hole in the stomach or upper intestine. The first method uses a stitch to hold a piece of tissue over the hole, while the second just uses the tissue patch alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 18 or older) with a hole in your stomach or upper intestine.
- You are healthy enough to have surgery.
- Your ulcer is not actively bleeding.
- You do not have any other condition that needs to be fixed with surgery at the same time.

This trial compares two types of stitches used to close the belly after emergency surgery. It aims to see if one type leads to fewer problems like wound infections or hernias.
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 study compares two ways to fix a mesh during groin hernia surgery: 3D patch with one stitch versus no stitches at all. It aims to see which method leads to less long-term pain and fewer hernias coming back. If you have a first-time, moderately large groin hernia, you may qualify.
