Hernia mesh placement study aims to reduce surgical risks
NCT ID NCT07384962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 790 adults who had hernia repair with mesh to see how the mesh's position (inside or outside the belly lining) affects later abdominal surgeries. The main goal is to compare rates of organ injury during those follow-up surgeries. Researchers will also track pain and recovery. The results will help surgeons choose the best mesh placement for long-term safety.

Who is studied
The study population includes adult patients (≥18 years) with a history of minimally invasive ventral hernia repair involving prosthetic mesh placement, who subsequently undergo elective or emergency minimally invasive abdominal surgery for any indication. Patients are grouped according to the anatomical position of the previously implanted mesh, classified as intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal (preperitoneal or retromuscular). The study population is designed to reflect real-world surgical practice and includes consecutive patients undergoing a wide range of abdominal procedures, including surgery for hernia recurrence and non-hernia-related indications. Both laparoscopic and robotic approaches are eligible. In patients undergoing surgery for ventral hernia recurrence, postoperative follow-up is performed to assess early surgical, neurological, and patient-reported outcomes, while patients undergoing surgery for other indications are evaluated for intraoperative outcomes only.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria * Adults aged 18 years or older. * Patients who previously underwent minimally invasive ventral hernia repair (primary, incisional, or recurrent) with intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal mesh placement. * Patients scheduled to undergo elective or emergency minimally invasive abdominal surgery for any indication (including, but not limited to, hernia recurrence, bowel obstruction, cholecystectomy, colorectal, or gynecologic procedures). * Patients in whom an initial minimally invasive approach is attempted, even if conversion to open surgery occurs after exploratory access or adhesiolysis. * Ability to provide written informed consent, according to local regulations. Exclusion Criteria * Patients undergoing primary open abdominal surgery without an initial minimally invasive approach. * Patients with a history of open ventral hernia repair as the index hernia procedure. * Patients without available information on prior mesh position. * Patients who decline or are unable to provide informed consent.
