NCT ID NCT07433439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether placing a mesh inside the belly wall during surgery can stop hernias from forming later. It included 110 adults having planned abdominal surgery who had extra risk factors for hernia, like older age or diabetes. The main goal was to see if the mesh lowered the number of hernias found on scans one and two years after surgery.
