Using hernia sac flap to cover mesh in bony-edged hernia repair
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a flap of your own hernia sac to cover the mesh during hernia repair can improve healing. It's for people with a complex hernia that touches a bone, like near the breastbone or pelvis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a hernia (either new or from a past surgery) that touches a bone, like near the breastbone, ribs, pubic bone, or hip area.
- Your hernia sac is healthy and large enough to be used as a flap to cover the mesh.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) open surgery using synthetic mesh placed behind the abdominal muscle.
- You are able to give consent and attend follow-up visits for 12 months.

This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.
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 tests whether using a synthetic mesh during abdominal closure can reduce the chance of a hernia forming after open abdomen surgery. It may help patients who had their abdomen left open and then closed surgically.
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 trial tests whether combining weight-loss surgery with a mesh repair for a midline ventral hernia works better and is safer than another approach. It may help people who have both severe obesity and a specific type of hernia reduce hernia problems after surgery.
This trial is comparing two ways to repair incisional hernias: the standard method versus a newer technique that combines a mesh with the tissue closure to make the repair stronger. The hope is that this new approach leads to fewer hernias coming back after surgery.
