New strategy aims to prevent breathing trouble after hernia repair
NCT ID NCT07422441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new way to close the belly wall during large hernia surgery to prevent breathing problems right after the operation. Doctors will use standard breathing measurements during surgery to decide the best closure method. The study will include 50 adults who are already getting hernia repair with botulinum toxin preparation. The main goal is to see if this approach lowers the rate of serious breathing issues within the first three days after surgery.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Elective repair of a large ventral abdominal wall hernia (including incisional hernia) * Preoperative botulinum toxin A preparation performed as part of the local prehabilitation pathway * Preoperative abdominal CT available * General anesthesia with mechanical ventilation and feasibility of standardized intraoperative respiratory mechanics measurements Exclusion Criteria: * Severe preoperative respiratory failure judged to preclude standardized intraoperative respiratory mechanics assessment * Inability to obtain reliable static respiratory system compliance measurements at predefined timepoints * Hemodynamic instability preventing protocolized measurements (as judged by the anesthesiologist)
