Which mesh is best for hernia repair? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07476560
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two different mesh materials used to repair small hernias in the belly area. About 280 adults having surgery will be randomly assigned to get either a standard flat mesh or a newer suture mesh. The goal is to see which type causes fewer wound problems, improves quality of life, and shortens surgery time.
