New treatment option for Hernia Incisional
Official title Assessment of Intra-abdominal Pressure During the Perioperative Period of Hernia Repair
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07531615
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Thousands of patients worldwide undergo abdominal surgery every day; 2-11% of laparotomies will progress to an incisional hernia, particularly midline laparotomies, which are associated with higher hernia rates, reaching up to 70% in obese patients (1,2). Long-term recurrence after incisional hernia repair is close to 30% after primary repair and may increase to 70% in cases of iterative (redo) surgery (3).
