Hernia mesh infection: should surgeons remove all or part of the mesh?

NCT ID NCT07491250

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks back at 100 patients who had surgery for a mesh infection after hernia repair. It compares two approaches: removing the entire mesh versus removing only the infected part. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer hernia recurrences and fewer repeat infections. The findings could help guide future surgical decisions.

Active substance

Complete or partial mesh removal surgery

What this could lead to

If this study succeeds, it could help surgeons decide the best way to remove infected mesh after hernia repair, reducing the chance of hernia or infection coming back.

What could go wrong

This is a small, retrospective study (looking back at past cases), not a controlled trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the best approach may still depend on individual factors.
