NCT ID NCT03912662

First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tested a self-gripping mesh placed during abdominal surgery to prevent incisional hernias, which can occur in 10-50% of patients. It involved 32 adults at moderate risk undergoing planned belly surgery. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but the goal was to see if the mesh reduced hernia rates within two years.
