Newest Ventral Hernia clinical trials

All recruiting trials (11)

• Duramesh repair versus minimally invasive IPOM for high-risk umbilical hernia

  This trial tests whether Duramesh repair can match the pain outcomes of minimally invasive IPOM in adults with high-risk umbilical or ventral hernias.

  Recruiting Northwestern University · Chicago, Illinois · NCT07881354

• Epidural vs. opioid-sparing pain control after complex ventral hernia repair

  This trial tests whether an epidural for pain relief after transversus abdominis release hernia repair works better than a non‑opioid, abdominal wall numbing injection approach.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Northwestern University · Chicago, Illinois · NCT07840183

• Risk factors for mesh infection after abdominal wall reconstruction

  This study tests which factors put adults at risk for mesh infection after abdominal wall reconstruction using different mesh types.

  Recruiting Minia University · Minya, Minya Governorate · NCT07725718

• Hernia Sac Flap Coverage of Mesh in Complex Bony-Edged Ventral Hernias

  We’re testing whether using the patient’s own hernia sac as a living flap underneath the mesh helps healing after complex ventral hernia repair when part of the edge is bone.

  Recruiting Minia University · Minya, Minya Governorate · NCT07720154

• AGN-151607-DP to help close the belly wall after open midline ventral hernia repair

  This trial tests whether a single intramuscular dose of AGN-151607-DP helps safely close the belly wall in adults having open midline ventral hernia repair.

  Recruiting at 11 sites Phase 2 AbbVie · Riverside, California and 12 other locations · NCT07226791

• Intensive lifestyle intervention for patients undergoing ventral hernia repair

  This study tests if a special program that helps people change unhealthy habits can reduce complications after surgery for ventral hernia repair.

  Recruiting Bispebjerg Hospital · Herlev and 2 other locations · NCT06611462

• Using the Anovo Surgical System for ventral hernia repair

  This study is testing a new robotic system for repairing ventral hernias to see if it is safe and effective for adults who need this surgery.

  Recruiting Momentis Surgical · Bonheiden and 1 other locations · NCT06457971

• Comparing two surgical techniques for ventral hernia repair

  This study tests which of two surgical methods for fixing ventral hernias, eTEP or IPOM, helps patients recover better and have fewer problems after surgery.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Basel, Canton of Basel-City · NCT06367309

• Robot-assisted ventral hernia repair vs open repair for large abdominal wall defects

  This trial tests whether robotically assisted repair of large ventral or incisional hernias leads to better outcomes than the traditional open repair.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Kempten (Allgäu), Bavaria and 2 other locations · NCT06364306

• Bariatric surgery with mesh repair for ventral hernia

  This study is testing whether using a special mesh or traditional stitches for fixing a ventral hernia during weight loss surgery helps patients have better results and fewer problems afterward.

  Recruiting Phase 3 Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · Colombes · NCT05488288

• Comparing robotic and open methods for ventral hernia repair

  This study is testing if robotic surgery for ventral hernia repair can help patients leave the hospital a day earlier compared to traditional open surgery.

  Recruiting at 5 sites The Cleveland Clinic · Gainesville, Florida and 4 other locations · NCT05472987

NIH-funded research (2)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Using video collaboration to enhance hernia repair techniques

  This study is all about helping surgeons get better at fixing ventral hernias by learning from each other through videos, which could lead to safer surgeries and quicker recoveries for patients like you.

  NIH research Univ of North Carolina Chapel Hill · Chapel Hill, United States · NIH-10754048

• Improving recovery after ventral hernia surgery with physical therapy

  This study is looking at how physical therapy can help people recover better after surgery for a ventral hernia by focusing on strengthening their core muscles, making everyday activities easier and improving their overall well-being.
