View clinical trials related to Ventral Hernia Repair.
Filter by:Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery and carries a significant burden for both patients and the economic health service. However, no consensus for the surgical treatment of incisional hernia in contaminated field is currently available. The purpose of the COMpACT-BIO study is to investigate the clinical and economic benefit of the use of biosynthetic mesh in contaminated incisional hernia repair.
The potential value of biological and biosynthetic meshes is their ability to integrate and remodel the wall in a contaminated environment in complex surgical situations. However, postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate for biologic prostheses are high. The delay to evaluate biosynthetic prostheses is not enough at present, and the high cost of biological prostheses requires a parsimonious use of this type of material. The interest of absorbable biosynthetic prostheses remains to be demonstrated in terms of postoperative complications and long-term recurrence. Current studies have been done on groups with few subjects and in clean surgery. The primary purpose is to describe the number of complications of the operative site at 12 months, including infectious and noninfectious complications as hematoma and seroma type. The secondary purpose is to describe the number of recurrent ventral hernia at 12 months. The ventral hernia repair is a frequent operation of general surgery. Thanks to this descriptive work considering the new therapeutic offer with absorbable polymers, it would make possible to update the knowledge of the surgeons and to bring new elements of discussion in the surgical decision.
