View clinical trials related to Hernia, Ventral.
Filter by:The research is aimed at identifying factors of herniation after median laparotomy and developing surgical methods for preventing postoperative ventral hernias and eventrations.
This trial was designed as a prospective randomized, controlled, intervention, with two parallel groups, and a primary endpoint of recurrence during 12 months' follow-up after initial treatment, with the randomization, was performed by an online software a 1:1 allocation.
Study Design: Single-blinded, randomized, prospective clinical trial. Study Population: End-stage liver disease patients' candidates for liver transplantation. Study procedures: Consenting patients will be divided into two matched groups: 1. CONTROL group - receiving a standard running fascial closure with PDS suture 2. TREATMENT group - receiving a standard running fascial closure with PDS suture PLUS a low molecular weight mesh. The mesh will be secured to the fascia extending 3 cm from the incisional site. There will be no modifications to routine post-operative wound care in both groups. However, the treatment group will have an additional drain placed at the incision site compared to the control group to reduce the risk of a seroma from placement of the mesh. Wound dressing will be removed on post-op day 2 and the wound will be assessed. Re-application of the dressing will occur thereafter until proper healing of the incision. An abdominal ultrasound will be done on all study participants at the 1- and 2-year mark postoperatively to look for objective evidence of a ventral incisional hernia. A CT scan will be performed if the abdominal ultrasound findings are inconclusive.
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.
Ventral hernia repair is associated with significant postoperative pain, and regional anesthetic techniques are of potential benefit. The postoperative mobility and training is of utmost importance in this patient group, and could be increased using local anesthetics instead of opioids. Inadequate post-operative pain control can lead to adverse consequences for patients, such as the development of chronic pain, immunosuppression, poorer healing of surgical wounds, as well as adrenergic activation and its consequences in the form of coronary incidents or gastrointestinal obstruction and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Moreover, lack of mobility can result in thrombosis and embolism. These complications affect hospital functioning, which leads to decreased patient satisfaction, a worse reputation for the hospital, longer stays in the recovery room, prolonged hospitalizations, higher incidence of re-surgeries and re-admissions, and higher costs for care and treatment. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is the latest of the truncal blocks and was first described in 2016. The efficacy of bilateral ESPB at the T7 level has been described in a study of 4 cases, moreover effective analgesia with ESPB after bariatric surgery has been described in a study of 3 cases. When performed at the level of the T7 transverse process, studies show the potential to block both supra-umbilical and infra-umbilical dermatomes. So far there are mostly case studies done in this field of study, and internationally there is a call for research into the effect of this technique and randomized controlled trials. The objective of this study is to compare ESPB to multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair.
Patients with incisional midline ventral hernias with a minimal width of 3 cm and a maximal width of 8 cm, treated according to the standard practice of the participating investigators. Patients can be treated with the following ventral hernia repair approaches: - Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (IPOM+) - Open ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (retromuscular repair) - Robotic ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (retromuscular repair) To evaluate the total number of days spent in the hospital within a period of 90 days post-operative. This will be calculated by adding the hospital length of stay for initial surgery or index-procedure, length of stay for any additional readmission resulting from the surgery or re-interventions, and emergency room visits resulting from the surgery or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) related to the index-procedure. Secondary objectives: To assess the safety, performance and efficacy of laparoscopic, open and robotic ventral hernia repair.
Patients who underwent ventral abdominal hernia repair with self adhering, atraumatic mesh in sublay position are examined for their recurrence rate
Aim of the work In this study, we will evaluate posterior component separation (TAR) technique with or without Botox injection for open huge ventral hernia and large abdominal wall defect repair. The primary outcome will be recurrence while the secondary outcome will be infection, postoperative complications (bleeding and dehiscence), pain score, operative time, hospitalization, need for drain, time for drain removal and pulmonary function test before and after surgery. This prospective clinical study will be performed on 40 eligible patients admitted to general surgery department at Mansoura University Hospi
