What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looks back at 100 patients who had surgery for a mesh infection after hernia repair. It compares two approaches: removing the entire mesh versus removing only the infected part. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer hernia recurrences and fewer repeat infections. The findings could help guide future surgical decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Complete or partial mesh removal surgery
What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could help surgeons decide the best way to remove infected mesh after hernia repair, reducing the chance of hernia or infection coming back.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study (looking back at past cases), not a controlled trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the best approach may still depend on individual factors.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of patients who developed mesh infection after tension-free inguinal hernioplasty and subsequently underwent surgical mesh removal (either complete or partial) at our institution. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records, including demographic characteristics, comorbidities, laboratory and imaging results, primary hernia surgery details, infection characteristics, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcomes. Follow-up was conducted through outpatient visits and telephone interviews, with the last follow-up on October 30, 2025.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who underwent tension-free inguinal hernioplasty with mesh placement. 2. Patients diagnosed with mesh infection requiring surgical re-intervention. 3. Patients who underwent complete or partial mesh removal surgery. 4. Availability of complete medical records and follow-up data. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with mesh infection managed conservatively (without surgical removal). 2. Patients with missing critical data (e.g., intraoperative findings, pathogen results, or follow-up). 3. Patients with concomitant procedures that could confound outcomes (e.g., simultaneous other hernia repair). 4. Patients lost to follow-up immediately after discharge (no postoperative assessment).
