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 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 how often a hernia happens 5 years after a terminal colostomy. It compares using a mesh patch to reinforce the area versus not using mesh, to see which approach may work better.
This trial compares two ways to close the abdomen after emergency surgery. One uses a mesh to strengthen the closure, and the other uses standard stitches. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications.
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 a silver-coated mesh placed during emergency abdominal surgery to see if it helps prevent wound infections and later hernias. It is for adults who need a certain type of urgent surgery that has a higher risk of infection.
