Keyhole repair for belly wall hernias
This study looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) technique called IPOM to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall). It aims to see how well this method works for people having planned hernia repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a primary ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall that is not from a previous surgery).
- Your hernia repair is planned as an elective (non-emergency) laparoscopic procedure.
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery.
- You do not have a hernia that needs emergency open surgery, and you are not pregnant.
- You do not have an active infection or skin ulcer over the hernia, and you can attend follow-up visits.

This study focuses on improving surgical treatment for belly wall hernias that develop after surgery (postoperative ventral hernias) in the middle or side areas. To see if you fit, the hernia size is checked with a CT scan.
This study compares two ways of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
This study tests a new way to fix hernias using imaging to guide a needle, without traditional surgery. It might help people who cannot or do not want to have surgery.
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 compares minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for repairing ventral hernias, which are bulges in the belly area. The goal is to see which method leads to better outcomes, such as less pain and faster recovery.
This study is testing a new system (ECLIPSIUM) for fixing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well for people with a single midline hernia (ventral, umbilical, or incisional) that is small to medium size (1-5 cm). If you qualify, the study will help doctors repair your hernia with a special mesh that may reduce complications.
