Ventral Hernia clinical trials and research
As of November 12, 2026, Find a Trial lists 11 Ventral Hernia clinical trials that are recruiting, at sites in 8 countries (most in United States (4), Egypt (2), Switzerland (2)). 1 was first registered in the last 30 days. By phase: Phase 2 (1), Phase 4 (1), Phase 3 (1). The most active sponsors are Minia University (2), Northwestern University (2), University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland (2). There are also 2 NIH-funded research projects on Ventral Hernia, with $577,027 in listed awards. Every study is explained in plain English.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
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.
-
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.
