NCT ID NCT07229703
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 252 adults who had surgery for a burst abdomen (when the belly incision reopens after an operation). Researchers compared two repair methods: primary suture with tension sutures versus component separation with mesh. The goal was to see which approach leads to fewer wound infections and hernias later on.
