Mesh reinforcement after open aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking back at patients who had open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a special mesh placed to prevent future hernias. Researchers want to see how well the mesh worked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had open surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery) between January 2019 and January 2024
- During that surgery, a mesh was placed behind your abdominal muscles to strengthen the area
- Your complete medical records, including details before and after surgery, are available
- You had a checkup at least one year after your surgery
- You signed a consent form allowing your medical data to be used for research

This study tests whether using a synthetic mesh during abdominal closure can reduce the chance of a hernia forming after open abdomen surgery. It may help patients who had their abdomen left open and then closed surgically.
This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.
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 study looks at long-term outcomes after abdominal hernia surgery where a mesh patch was used. It may help doctors understand what to expect long-term and how well mesh repair works over time.
This study tests if using an extra mesh patch to strengthen the belly closure during emergency surgery helps prevent hernias later. It compares this with just stitching the belly closed as usual.
This trial tests a special mesh (OPTILENE Silver Mesh Elastic) placed during emergency abdominal surgery to see if it helps prevent wound infections and hernias. The mesh is made to be safe and is used when the surgery area is at high risk for infection.
