Risk factors for incisional hernia after major abdominal surgery
This study looks at why some people develop an incisional hernia (a bulge near a surgery scar) after major abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help researchers identify risk factors to improve future surgical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have had a major abdominal surgery, whether planned or emergency.
- Your medical records and surgery details must be complete and available.
- You must be willing to participate in the study.

This trial compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
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 tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
This trial enrolls adults who are scheduled for planned hernia/abdominal wall surgery to learn more about patients’ experiences and follow-up through questionnaires. If you qualify and agree, your study participation may help improve how care is planned around surgery.
This study tests a way to prevent hernias after emergency belly surgery. If you are having emergency surgery for certain conditions, you may be able to join.
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.
