Preventing incisional hernias after kidney transplantation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using ProGrip™ Self-Gripping Polyester Mesh for reinforcing laparotomy closure in patients undergoing their first kidney transplant. The study will randomly assign participants to assess the reduction in the incidence of incisional hernias two years post-transplantation. Given the increased risk of hernias in transplant recipients due to immunosuppressive therapy, this approach seeks to improve surgical outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. The trial will monitor participants for hernia development through physical examinations and imaging tests.
