Hernia surgery study measures Body's inner pressure
NCT ID NCT06575166
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to measure how abdominal wall tension and internal pressure change during hernia repair surgery in people with large hernias. Researchers used a special scale and a pressure-sensing urinary catheter during the operation. Only 2 people took part before the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients with an incisional or parastomal hernia with a \>20 cm fascial defect on pre-operative imaging who undergo an anticipated open bilateral transversus abdominis release with retro-muscular synthetic mesh placement will be included. The investigators anticipate that patients with very large defects will experience the greatest changes in abdominal wall tension and intra-abdominal pressure.
