Mesh position and risk in later belly surgery
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had a previous hernia repair with mesh and are now scheduled for another belly surgery. The goal is to see if where the mesh was placed affects the risk of the new surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

- You are now scheduled for another belly surgery (like for hernia, bowel blockage, gallbladder, or gynecologic issues) that will start with small incisions.
- You know where the mesh from your previous surgery was placed.
- You can agree to participate in the study by signing a consent form.

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 study compares two surgical techniques for repairing large ventral hernias (a bulge in the belly wall). It aims to see which mesh placement method leads to better outcomes.
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 tests a minimally invasive surgery to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) using a mesh placed from inside the abdomen. It may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
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.
