Comparing two mesh placement methods for large belly hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a large hernia (a bulge) in your belly area that has not caused any complications.
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery with general anesthesia.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder.
- If you are female, you are not pregnant.

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 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.
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 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 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 looks at people who have had a hernia repair with mesh and are now having another belly surgery. The goal is to see how the mesh position affects the surgery and its risks.
