Mesh placement and safety in second belly surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had a previous hernia repair using minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery, and a mesh was placed.
- You are scheduled for another abdominal surgery that will start as a minimally invasive procedure (even if it might be converted to open surgery later).
- You know the position of the mesh from your previous surgery.
- You are able to give written informed consent.

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.
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 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 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 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 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.
