Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ventral Hernia Repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a ventral hernia (midline or lateral abdominal wall) that requires surgery
- Your surgeon has determined you are a good candidate for minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery
- You are able and willing to provide written informed consent
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe heart or lung conditions that would make minimally invasive surgery unsafe for you

This trial tests two less invasive surgery methods for repairing ventral hernias (bulges in the belly area). It may be an option if you have a hernia on your belly wall that isn't in the groin and haven't had hernia repair before.
This trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) using a mesh placed from inside the abdomen. It may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery than 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 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 tests a minimally invasive (small incision) surgery to repair a groin hernia. The goal is to see if the approach is effective and helps you recover quickly.
