Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized study between two accepted techniques of mesh fixation for laparoscopic hernia repair.


Description:

This is a randomized study in which subjects will undergo one or two currently accepted techniques of mesh fixation during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Subject will undergo mesh fixation with either trans-abdominal sutures and metallic tacks or metallic tacks only. Pain will be assessed through week 12, and hernia recurrence will be assessed for 2 years after surgery. Subjects will complete pain questionnaires at baseline, each day during hospital stay, and at follow-up visits at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after discharge. Quality of life questionnaires will be completed at baseline, at discharge from hospital, and during follow-up visits at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after discharge.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: Demographics: - Age = 18 years old - If female, negative pregnancy test Pre-Operative Findings: - Presence of an abdominal hernia associated with previous surgical incision - Midline ventral\incisional hernia demonstrated either on physical examination by investigators or radiologic imaging tests. - CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound - No evidence of incarceration, strangulation - Size of hernia = 4 centimeters or = 20 centimeters (cross-sectional diameter) - Multiple hernias cumulative size = 20 centimeters in cross-sectional diameter Exclusion Criteria: Pre-Operative History: - Severe medical co-morbidities that prevent safe performance of laparoscopic surgery including coronary artery disease, obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. - History of the following: - Connective tissue or wound healing disorder (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) - Chronic use (defined as greater than 3 months) of narcotic analgesic for pain other than from the hernia that is intended to be repaired - Allergy to products used in hernia repair including surgical mesh - Any abdominal ventral incisional hernia previously repaired with permanent synthetic mesh placed inside the peritoneal cavity - Loss of abdominal domain (i.e. majority of abdominal organs lie outside confines of the abdominal musculature and fascia) - Presence of simultaneous intra-abdominal infection - Simultaneous presence of a bowel obstruction - History of suspected or known addiction to or abuse of illicit drug(s), prescription medicine(s), or alcohol within the past 2 years. - Uncontrolled anxiety, schizophrenia, or other psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with study assessments or compliance. Intra-operative Findings: - Simultaneous performance of another surgical procedure during hernia repair other than acts necessary to complete hernia repair (e.g. cutting of abdominal adhesions) - Intra-operative identification of full thickness injury to intestine (i.e. enterotomy), liver, bladder, etc.
