What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study investigates what factors may predict mesh infection after open incisional hernioplasty, a surgery to repair a hernia that forms at a previous surgical scar. Researchers will follow 62 patients of any age or gender who have this surgery, tracking who develops a mesh-related infection during follow-up. They will compare patients with and without infection to identify contributing factors. The goal is to better understand why some patients get infections, which could help improve prevention and care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
No drug or device is being tested. The study observes patients who undergo open incisional hernioplasty to identify predictors of mesh infection.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk of mesh infection after hernia repair, leading to better prevention and care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study, so the findings may not apply to all patients. It only looks for patterns, not causes, and cannot prove that any factor directly causes infection.
