Mesh reinforcement after emergency abdominal surgery
This trial compares two ways to close the abdomen after emergency surgery. One uses a mesh to strengthen the closure, and the other uses standard stitches. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer complications.

This trial tests if a preventive measure during open abdominal surgery can reduce the chance of developing a hernia later. It is for patients who are having a midline cut that is closed later, not right away, and who are over 18.
This study compares two methods of closing the cut made during belly surgery to see which one is less likely to cause a hernia later. It is for people having planned colorectal surgery through a midline incision.
This study compares two ways of closing the belly after emergency colorectal surgery to see which one better prevents hernias. If you need this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
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 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.
