Filter by:Incisional hernias are a frequent consequence of abdominal surgery. Current clinical efforts are primarily focused on improving repair materials and surgical techniques to correct these hernias instead of the optimal solution: prevention. A product called MYOSEAL is currently being developed to prevent hernia formation after abdominal surgery by using fibrin tissue sealant and silver particles to prophylactically enhance the early wound healing of myofascial incisions. The purpose of this phase 1 study is to examine the safety of applying MYOSEAL immediately after abdominal wall suture closure in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The investigators expect that applying this product to sutured myofascial incisions will increase collagen formation in the wound and thus prevent the formation of incisional hernias.
This study aim to assess long-term results of an incisional hernia-prophylactic mesh placement during stoma reversal after total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer
Study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial evaluating two laparoscopic incisional hernia repair methods: basic laparoscopic mesh repair (lap.) and a hybrid repair (laparoscopic mesh and fascial suturation). Patients are recruited prospectively from 10 Finnish Hospitals (Oulu, Jorvi, Hyvinkää, Kotka, Seinäjoki, Valkeakoski, Lahti, Kuopio, Kokkola, Loimaa). Patients are randomized to operative groups (lap. vs hybrid). Follow-up visits are scheduled at 1- and 12-month after surgery. Patients are evaluated for their clinical status and an ultrasound scan is performed. QoL-questionnaire and pain score (VAS) are reported. The primary end-points: - clinically and/or radiologically detected seroma in 1 month control - clinically and/or radiologically detected recurrent hernia in 1 year control The secondary end-points: - peri-and postoperative outcomes/ complications, morbidity, mortality - duration of hospital stay - pain scale (VAS) - Quality of Life (SF/Rand36)
This prospective clinical study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Cook® Antimicrobial Hernia Repair Device containing an antimicrobial to reinforce soft tissue during ventral or incisional hernia repair in clean-contaminated, contaminated, and dirty-infected (i.e., Class II, Class III, and Class IV) surgical fields. Up to 30 patients will be treated with the Cook® Antimicrobial Hernia Repair Device and patients will be followed for 12 months.
Nanotechnologies applied to General Surgery and Emergency Surgery: The Buckypaper as a new fixing method for prosthetic materials in the treatment of abdominal wall hernias in humans, in laparotomic procedures and as a new device for the treatment of solid cancer and hematopoietic system tumors. The experimentation on this new material, preliminary conducted on breed female rabbit New Zeeland, will be applicable to human, if the results in terms of toxicity and durability will be comfortable.
Patients with an incisional hernia in the midline and controls with an intact abdominal wall are examined twice with one week apart, in order to establish the test-retest reliability and internal and external validity of the Goodstrength trunk dynamometer.
Randomised prospective comparison of onlay and sublay mesh repair techniques in incisional hernia
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of Customizable in the management of extensive closed surgical incisions for Subjects undergoing abdominal surgery for incisional hernia repair and/or functional panniculectomy as compared to SOC dressing, and to significantly reduce the SSC rate experienced by Subjects receiving Customizable vs. SOC surgical incision dressing.
To evaluate the efficacy of the use of swine dermal collagen prosthesis implanted preperitoneally as a prophylactic procedure against incisional hernia in patients operated in urgency/emergency setting in contaminated/infected fields with peritonitis. The aim of the study is to reduce the incidence of incisional hernia from 50% to 20%.
The Danish Hernia Database (DHD) registers 37 different perioperative parameters. The aim of present study is to use large-scale data from DHD to uncover risk factors for long-term (30 days postoperative and later) readmission, reoperation, death and reoperation for recurrence after incisional hernia repair with use of a synthetic mesh.
