NCT ID NCT07514273

First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether small, reducible ventral hernias (belly button or midline bulges) can be safely repaired using only local anesthesia (numbing medicine) in an outpatient clinic, avoiding general anesthesia. Thirty-five adults with small hernias (≤2 cm) and a healthy weight were included. The goal was to see if the procedure is safe and feasible, potentially offering a simpler, faster recovery option for patients.
