Ventral hernia after cytoreductive surgery: risks and treatment
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) for pseudomyxoma peritonei, colorectal cancer that spread to the abdomen, or ovarian cancer that spread to the abdomen.
- Your surgery was between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2024.
- You did not have a ventral hernia (a belly bulge) at the surgery site before this surgery.
- You had follow-up medical visits for at least one year after the surgery.

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.
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.
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
This trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
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 compares two surgical approaches for ventral hernias during tummy contour surgery. It may help people understand which approach leads to better recovery and results after surgery.
