Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicentric prospective randomized study comparing technique of tension-free repair with placement of a bovine pericardium bioprosthesis (Tutopatch® and Tutomesh®) to current conventional surgical techniques in potentially contaminated hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction.

The hypothesis is that using Tutomesh® prostheses reduces the risk of postoperative complications at 30 days in the treatment of incisional hernias or complicated abdominal wall hernias (ref early complications) for potentially contaminated fields.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary risk of postoperative complications: occurrence of complications related to pathology or surgery will be evaluated with the report of adverse events and emergency visits 30 days Yes
Secondary recurrence risk: Assessment of relapse thanks to emergency visits and to adverse events' report 1 year Yes
Secondary the impact on postoperative pain: Assessment of postoperative pain by postponing analgesics 1 year No
Secondary the socio-economic impact will be evaluated with the concomitant treatment and hospitalisations. 1 year No
Secondary the impact on patients' quality of life: The evaluation of patient's quality of life will be done with the questionnaire quality of life SF12 1 year No
