Tension test: new study measures belly pressure during hernia repair
NCT ID NCT07531615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to measure pressure inside the belly and in the belly muscles during surgery to fix a type of hernia called an incisional hernia. Ten adults with a medium-sized hernia will have pressure readings taken before, during, and after their operation. The goal is to better understand how tension affects healing and hernia return, not to test a new treatment.
