NCT ID NCT01594450
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether using a special biological mesh during surgery helps people with infected belly-button hernias heal better than standard wound care alone. About 110 adults with infected hernias were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal was to see if the mesh reduced infections and wound problems within 6 months, with follow-up for up to 3 years to check for hernia return and quality of life.
