Guided abdominal wall closure for large hernia repair
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to close the abdominal wall after surgery for a large hernia, using lung compliance measurements to guide the closure. It aims to improve recovery by finding the best closure technique for each patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have surgery to fix a large hernia in your belly (including a hernia from a past surgery)
- You received botulinum toxin A injections before surgery as part of your preparation
- You had a CT scan of your belly before surgery
- You will have general anesthesia with a breathing tube, and it's safe to measure your lung function during surgery

This study focuses on improving surgical treatment for belly wall hernias that develop after surgery (postoperative ventral hernias) in the middle or side areas. To see if you fit, the hernia size is checked with a CT scan.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
This trial tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This trial tests a cold treatment to relax the belly wall muscles before surgery to fix a large hernia. It may help the surgery go more smoothly and improve results.
This trial compares different ways to prepare your body before surgery to repair a large hernia (bulge in your abdominal wall). The goal is to find the best approach to help you heal well after surgery.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
