Filter by:Collect data on safety, performance, and effectiveness of Phasix Mesh in subject requiring primary ventral and incisional hernias.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a Transabdominal Plane Block will decrease patient pain and pain medication use after a laparoscopic ventral (ventral, umbilical, incisional) hernia repair with mesh.
The primary objective of this study is to examine and compare the outcomes associated with the use of Flex HD®, a human acellular dermal matrix (HADM), and Strattice™, a porcine acellular dermal matrix, (PADM) when used as a reinforcing material in the repair of large complicated abdominal wall hernias.
Introduction: Closure of the hernia gap in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair before mesh reinforcement has gained increasing acceptance among surgeons despite creating a tension-based repair. Beneficial effects of this technique have sporadically been reported but no evidence is available from randomized controlled trials. The primary purpose is to compare early postoperative activity-related pain in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair with closure of the gap with patients undergoing standard laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (non-closure of the gap). Secondary outcomes are cosmesis and hernia-related quality of life (QoL) at 30-days and clinical or radiological recurrence and chronic pain after 2 years. Material and Methods: A randomized, controlled, double-blinded study is planned. Based on power calculation we will include 40 patients in each arm. Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic umbilical, epigastric, or umbilical trocar-site hernia repair at Hvidovre Hospital, Herlev Hospital, or Køge Hospital, who meet the inclusion criteria, are invited to participate. Conclusion: The technique with closure of the gap may induce more postoperative pain, but may be superior with regard to other important surgical outcomes. No studies have previously investigated closure of the gap in the setting of a randomised controlled trial.
Single-arm study of Phasix Mesh in High Risk patients looking at SSI and recurrence rates.
Ventral hernias, primary and recurrent, are major surgical challenge. We aim to investigate efficacy of modified technique of ventral hernias repair: an "open intraperitoneal mesh" technique.
The purpose of this project is to assess the efficacy of the Spy Elite System (LifeCell Corporation, Branchburg, NJ, USA) in planning tissue advancement flaps and reducing wound complications after complex ventral hernia repairs. Complex ventral hernia repairs are associated with a high rate of wound complications. To a large degree these complications are caused by creating tissue advancement flaps to close the abdomen, which can compromise the blood supply to the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The current standard of care for assessment of blood perfusion to the flaps is a surgeon's clinical judgment. It is, however, often inaccurate. The Spy Elite System was developed to address this problem. The Spy Elite System is a device that enables surgeons to visualize and evaluate tissue perfusion in real time. It can help the surgeon to identify optimal flap design and reduce the risk of postoperative wound complications related to tissue ischemia. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Spy Elite System to aid a surgeon in creating tissue flaps with adequate blood supply through a prospective, randomized clinical trial. The Spy Elite System has been used successfully for assessing the viability of mastectomy flaps in breast surgery and has been shown to be extremely sensitive in predicting mastectomy flap necrosis. However, no clinical trial has been conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of the Spy Elite System for assessing the viability of abdominal subcutaneous flaps in complex ventral hernia repairs.
The objective of this study is to collect efficacy, safety and utility data with Phasix™ Mesh in ventral and incisional repair procedures by evaluating the following: 1. Hernia recurrence rate of ventral and incisional hernias post repair with Phasix™ Mesh for up to 12 months post surgery. 2. Perioperative, short-term and long-term procedural and/or device related complications. 3. Abdominal Wall Function and mobility.
The objective of this study is to assess the recurrence rate following the use of PARIETEX™ Composite Ventral Patch in primary ventral hernia repair by open approach with intra‐peritoneal positioning.
For laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, the technique to close the hernia gap is not well established. Mainly three techniques are currently applied: - no closure at all - extracorporal suturing of the gap - intracorporal suturing of the gap All three techniques have been applied at our hospital. Patients who received laparoscopic hernia repair between 2006 and 2011 will be identified from the patient database and will be contacted by phone to inquire about the outcome and the satisfaction of the surgery.
