Suture Mesh vs. Planar Mesh for Small Ventral Hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of mesh used to repair small ventral hernias (belly hernias up to 3 cm). It tests whether a suture mesh works better than a standard planar mesh, helping surgeons choose the best approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a ventral hernia that is 3 cm or smaller when measured by ultrasound or CT scan.
- You are able to have surgery to repair the hernia.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant.
- This is not an emergency surgery.

This trial compares two types of stitches for repairing small umbilical hernias (hole in the belly button) to see if dissolving stitches work as well as permanent ones. It helps understand if one option leads to fewer complications or better recovery.
This trial compares two surgical options—closing with stitches (suture) versus using a surgical mesh—to repair an incisional hernia. It may help find which approach works best for preventing problems and improving recovery for people with certain hernia sizes.
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 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 study compares two types of surgical mesh used to repair small incisional hernias (or hernias that came back after a previous repair). It may help determine which mesh works better and with fewer problems.
This trial compares two methods of attaching mesh during hernia surgery—staples versus sutures—to see which leads to better healing and fewer problems after surgery. You'd have a 50/50 chance of receiving either method.
