Preoperative prep methods for large abdominal wall hernias
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different ways to prepare your body before surgery to repair a large hernia (bulge in your abdominal wall). The goal is to find the best approach to help you heal well after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a ventral incisional hernia (a bulge through a previous surgical scar) that needs elective surgery
- Your hernia is large and/or complex enough to need special preparation before surgery
- You are able and willing to give informed consent to participate
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests if getting Botox shots in the belly muscles before hernia surgery makes the repair easier and more successful. It is for adults who need a planned, open surgery for a large ventral hernia.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) before surgery can help close large holes in the belly wall by relaxing the muscles and making it easier to bring the edges together. This might reduce complications and improve healing after surgery.
This trial tests a method to close the abdominal wall during hernia repair surgery. It looks at how your lungs and belly respond during surgery to reduce complications after a large hernia repair.
This trial tests a pre-surgery optimization program for people with ventral hernias. It aims to improve outcomes before and after the operation.
This trial tests whether adding Botox injections to surgery helps repair large incisional hernias. It may lower the chance of the hernia coming back.
