Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)

Summary

This study compared two types of mesh (light vs heavy) used in abdominal hernia repair to see which leads to fewer surgical site infections. 106 patients took part, and researchers also measured post-surgery pain. The goal is to help surgeons choose the better mesh for future operations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
polypropylene mesh (light-weight vs heavy-weight)
What this could lead to
If one mesh type clearly causes fewer infections, surgeons may adopt it to improve recovery for hernia patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 106 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Also, the trial is already completed, so no new data is coming.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
