Cytokine response after hernia repair surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body's immune system (cytokines) responds to a specific type of hernia repair called open retromuscular ventral hernia repair. It may help patients understand inflammation after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how different hernia repairs turn out depending on where the hernia is in the body. It uses existing medical records to understand which factors may influence recovery or outcomes after surgery.
This study looks at whether different post-surgery wound-care steps can reduce problems at the incision site after elective ventral hernia repair. If you qualify, you may receive a specific wound treatment plan chosen by the study team to see how it affects healing and infection rates.
This trial looks at emergency surgeries for groin or belly hernias to see how well they work. It might help you if you need urgent hernia surgery.
This study looks at how common ventral hernias (bulges in the belly) are after a certain type of abdominal cancer surgery called cytoreductive surgery with or without heated chemotherapy. It also looks at what increases the risk and how these hernias are treated. If you've had this surgery, your experience can help doctors improve care.
This trial compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
This study looks at whether how active you are before hernia surgery can affect your recovery. It may help doctors give better advice to future patients.
