Comparing two surgical repairs for lower back hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a type of back hernia that happens after a past surgery or recurred. It aims to see which method helps better for people with incisional or recurrent lumbar hernias.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lumbar hernia (a bulge in your lower back area).
- The hernia either started after a previous surgery on your belly area or came back after a previous repair.
- You are at least 16 years old.
- Your hernia is not stuck or twisted (it can still be gently pushed back into place and is not causing a blockage or cutting off blood flow).

This trial compares two surgical options—closing with stitches (suture) versus using a surgical mesh—to repair an incisional hernia. It may help find which approach works best for preventing problems and improving recovery for people with certain hernia sizes.
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 two ways of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
