Mesh infection risk after abdominal wall repair
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery to repair a hernia or defect in your abdominal wall (like a ventral, incisional, or parastomal hernia) that uses a mesh patch.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and come back for follow-up visits.
- You are not having a repair that only uses stitches (no mesh).
- You do not have a groin hernia (inguinal or femoral).

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.
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 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 is looking back at patients who had open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a special mesh placed to prevent future hernias. Researchers want to see how well the mesh worked over time.
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 looks at people who have had a hernia repair with mesh and are now having another belly surgery. The goal is to see how the mesh position affects the surgery and its risks.
