NCT ID: NCT05061264 Completed - Infection Clinical Trials

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction With PVDF Mesh in the Setting of Active Infection

Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The use of synthetic mesh to repair infected defects of the abdominal wall remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of using PVDF mesh to treat infected abdominal wall defects in the elective setting.

NCT ID: NCT03702153 Completed - Infection Clinical Trials

The Use of Synthetic Mesh in Contaminated and Infected Abdominal Wall Repairs. A Long-term Prospective Clinical Trial

Start date: January 1, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Abdominal wall reconstruction in patients presenting with enteric fistulas and mesh infection is challenging. There is a consensus that synthetic mesh must be avoided in infected operations. The alternatives to using synthetic mesh, such as component separation techniques and biologic mesh, present disappointing results with expressive wound infection and hernia recurrence rates. Methods: A prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the short and the long-term outcomes of patients submitted to elective abdominal wall repair with synthetic mesh in the dirty-infected setting, and compared to a cohort of patients submitted to clean ventral hernia repairs.
