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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for an open retromuscular ventral hernia repair (a type of hernia surgery where the mesh is placed behind the muscle)

- You are not on long-term steroid or immunosuppressant medications
- You do not have an active infection, autoimmune disease, or end-stage organ failure
- You have not had abdominal surgery in the last 60 days

This study looks at long-term outcomes after abdominal hernia surgery where a mesh patch was used. It may help doctors understand what to expect long-term and how well mesh repair works over time.
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 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 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.
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 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.
