Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

Researchers are comparing patients who developed an incisional hernia within two years of major abdominal surgery with those who did not. The goal is to identify patient-related and surgery-related factors, such as surgical site infection, that may increase the risk. The study includes adults aged 18 and older with complete medical records. Findings could help guide future prevention efforts.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could help doctors identify patients at higher risk of incisional hernia after major abdominal surgery, potentially leading to better prevention strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it can show associations but not prove cause and effect. The results may not apply to all surgical patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will include eligible patients identified from the hospital medical records of the Department of General Surgery, Surgical Oncology and Laparoscopic Surgery at Sohag University Hospital. Patients will be classified into two groups: * Cases: Patients who developed incisional hernia following major abdominal surgery performed during the preceding two years. * Controls: Patients who underwent major abdominal surgery during the same period but did not develop incisional hernia. Controls will be randomly selected from the same source population as the cases using a computer-generated random-number sequence, at a 1:1 ratio to ensure comparability between the two groups.

Ages

18 years and older
