Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in tension after each release in a standard posterior component separation during abdominal wall reconstruction.
Quantitative radiographic imaging holds promise as a novel and innovative strategy to assess ventral hernia patients. Assessing abdominal wall changes surrounding ventral hernia using shear wave velocity values measured with ultrasound will identify features of the abdominal wall that differ between healthy volunteers and subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair. Through the use of ultrasound including shear wave velocity measurements, the abdominal wall of 25 subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair will be compared to those of 35 healthy volunteers. The ultrasound measurements will elucidate if ventral hernia affects abdominal wall elasticity and effect surgical outcomes.
The aim of this Observational Registry Study is to assess the short- and long-term clinical outcomes following the use of Symbotex™ Composite Mesh in primary and incisional abdominal wall hernia surgeries by open or laparoscopic approach, according to the Instruction for use (IFU).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Cook Biodesign mesh for the repair of complex ventral incisional hernias. Using materials to reinforce tissue defects is indicated as standard of care for this type of surgery. The Cook Biodesign mesh is currently FDA-approved for implantation to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists, but the investigators would like to collect additional follow-up information to continue to assess the durability of the repair after placement of the hernia mesh. This follow-up would include the collection of information about complications such as infections and seromas (collections of fluid around the surgery site), as well as hernia recurrence and quality of life questionnaires. Patients who qualify to take part in this study have been diagnosed with a ventral incisional hernia and will have been scheduled for a surgical hernia repair. This surgery will be an "open" surgical procedure and reinforcing your tissue with material is indicated for this type of hernia repair.
Prospective, multicenter, observational study to evaluate performance of GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement when used to reinforce midline fascial closure in single-staged open complex ventral incisional hernia repair.
