Emergency hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at emergency surgery to fix a hernia – a bulge or tear in the belly or groin area. If you need this surgery, the trial may help doctors learn the best way to treat you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be having emergency surgery for a hernia in the groin or belly wall.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have advanced cancer that is spreading.
- You must be able to come to follow-up visits and must not be in another study.

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 is a registry that collects health information from adults who have surgery for an inguinal or femoral groin hernia, whether planned or urgent, and whether it’s a first-time or recurrent hernia. It helps doctors better understand hernia care and outcomes for patients over time.
This study compares two ways to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly area). One method also includes a tummy tuck (removing loose skin and fat). It may help women who have both a hernia and a floppy abdomen.
This study tests a way to prevent hernias after emergency belly surgery. If you are having emergency surgery for certain conditions, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
