Laparoscopic mesh repair for belly hernias
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) using a mesh placed from inside the abdomen. It may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a primary ventral hernia—a bulge in the belly wall that is not from a previous surgery.
- Your surgery is planned to be done laparoscopically (with small cuts and a camera) using the IPOM technique (mesh placed from inside the belly).
- You are well enough for general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery.
- You do not have a strangulated hernia (cut-off blood supply) or other emergency condition.
- You are not pregnant and have no active skin infection near the hernia.

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 doing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: one where the mesh is stitched in place, and one where it is left without stitches. The goal is to see which method works better for patients.
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 two less invasive surgery methods for repairing ventral hernias (bulges in the belly area). It may be an option if you have a hernia on your belly wall that isn't in the groin and haven't had hernia repair before.
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
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.
