Filter by:The study aims to evaluate outcomes relating to pain and QOL after robotic-assisted or laparoscopic non-complex ventral hernia repair.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program to optimize patient physical fitness and nutrition ("prehabilitation") prior to and after plastic surgery involving the abdomen improves surgical outcomes. The investigators hope to determine how a multimodal peri-operative prehabilitation program can be most effective in engaging and motivating patients to physically and mentally get ready for an abdominally-based plastic surgery operation. The overall goal is to determine if this program will improve post-operative recovery after abdominally-based plastic surgery. The importance of this new knowledge is better understanding of ways that plastic surgeons can improve outcomes, engagement, and experience of patients undergoing abdominally-based plastic surgery operations. This would translate to increased healthcare value and better long-term outcomes.
The study aims to explore the difference in outcomes relating to pain and quality of life after open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted retromuscular ventral hernia repair.
The investigators are testing the ability of vacuum dressings to improve wound healing for patients having large hernias surgically repaired who are at risk of having wound complications. The trial will randomly be giving some patients having this surgery the vacuum dressing and some a standard dressing and observing how their wounds heal in hospital and at follow-up appointments.
Randomised controlled trial comparing Ventralex Hernia Patch with Stratafix suture for repair of primary ventral hernias in the midline.
The purpose of this study is to collect data on the performance of the Biodesign® Hernia Graft when used to reinforce soft tissues during ventral hernia repair.
This study evaluates the effect of active warming by maintaining the normothermia during abdominal surgical procedures. The investigators hypothesize that there is no difference in terms of preventing surgical site infections between warm air blown surgical access blanket and underbody blanket.
Recent studies demonstrate the critical role of individual surgeon performance, including both the approach they take to an operation as well as their technical skill, in determining patient outcomes. Utilizing the rich data collected by the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC), formerly Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative (AHSQC), for its 200 members performing ventral hernia repair in the United States, the investigators will examine the effectiveness of video-based collaborative learning to provide feedback and improve surgical performance and patient outcomes. A prospective randomized trial comparing two interventions is proposed, comparing live video-based surgical coaching and video-based feedback using time-stamped annotations that can be reviewed at a later time to a wait-list control group drawn from the same cohort of surgeons. The results have the immediate potential to improve the quality of care for the 350,000 patients requiring ventral hernia repair each year, while also providing critical evidence to support a novel approach to surgical performance improvement more broadly.
Eventration corresponds to the dehiscence of the abdominal wall, with passage of peritoneum and / or intra-abdominal viscera, through an acquired orifice of the abdominal wall. It is secondary to an old incision and occurs in 10 to 20% of cases after a laparotomy. At present, if there is no debate on the type of prosthesis to implant in case of clean surgery: it is a synthetic prosthesis. But in the case of contaminated surgery (modified Ventral Hernia Working Group grade 3), there is no consensus. Since the 1990s, biological prostheses have been recommended, but they represent significant expenses for health facilities. They are very numerous, and their prices vary between 3 000 € and 12 000 €. The choice is therefore difficult for the surgeon. In 2016 the Strasbourg University Hospital general surgery team made the choice to use biosynthetic prostheses. This attitude does not seem consensual and is not based on any recommendations at present, either in France or internationally. The homogenization of practices requires the availability of clinical and medico-economic data, particularly in view of the price differences that exist between different types of prostheses. The main objective of this study will be to compare the use of biosynthetic prostheses with biological prostheses in the treatment of curative surgical treatment of mVHWG grade 3 incisional hernias in terms of cost and serious complications at 6 months. The secondary objective of the study will be to estimate the number of early recurrences at 6 months avoided, thanks to the use of biosynthetic prostheses compared to biological prostheses.
