AFFIX: Post-market Study of MaxTack™ Motorized Fixation Device in Subjects Undergoing Ventral Hernia Repair
Medtronic is sponsoring and funding the AFFIX study, a prospective, post-market, multicenter, nonrandomized, single-arm, interventional clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the MaxTack™ Motorized Fixation Device when used for fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue in minimally invasive ventral hernia …
CYP2D6 Genotype-guided Management of Opioid Analgesics in Patients Undergoing Elective Ventral Hernia Repairs
Pilot pragmatic trial using an implementation science approach to determine the feasibility of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing for patients undergoing elective VHRs compared to usual care. Assess the efficacy (PROMIS Pain Intensity and Hernia-Related QOL) of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing approach for patients undergoing elective VHRs.
Laparoscopic Total Extraperitoneal Plasty as a Modification of Sugabecker's Operation
Abstract Parastomal hernia is a frequent complication following stoma formation, presenting a significant surgical challenge with high recurrence rates. The present study explores the efficacy of the laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) approach in parastomal hernia repair, conceived as a modification of the Sugabecker's operation. This prospective work, who analysis aims …
Use of Stratafix Symmetric™ to Prevent Incisional Hernia in Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Surgery
Comparing the use of Stratafix Symmetric™ sutures to standard laparotomy closure sutures.
Short Stitch Versus Traditional Suture for the Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Open Hepatectomy
This clinical trial compares two different kinds of surgical closing techniques, short stitch suture or traditional suture, in patients who are having liver tumor surgery. This study may help researchers learn if one technique can lower the chances of developing a hole in the wall of the abdomen (an abdominal …
Preoperative Weight Loss for Open Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare preoperative intensive weight management to upfront surgery in obese patients undergoing complex abdominal wall reconstruction. The main question is will abdominal wall specific quality of life (using the HerQLes survey) for the group undergoing upfront surgery be non-inferior compared to …
Pilot Trial of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) in Severe Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)
Despite advances in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal therapies, including ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), inhaled nitric oxide therapy, and ventilator strategies that minimize ventilator-induced lung injury, morbidity and mortality rates for babies with severe CDH remain high. The rationale for fetal therapy in severe CDH is to promote adequate lung growth …
The Impact of Abdominal Wall Closure Technique on Incidence of Incisional Hernia in Kidney Transplantation
STUDY SUMMARY Incisional hernias, or swellings of the abdominal scar after surgery, remain problematic especially after transplant surgery. This is because they can cause complications, including trapping of bowel or the transplant. This can cause life threatening emergencies but is at the very least unsightly and uncomfortable for the patient. …
STRONG for Surgery & Strong for Life - Intensive Prehabilitation for Risk Reduction in Ventral Hernia Repair
The five risky lifestyles Smoking, Nutrition (obesity and malnutrition), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) are common in surgical patients and associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Mono-factor interventions targeting and improving these risky lifestyles have been shown to reduce the risk at surgery, but there is a lack of …
Efficacy and Duration of Pain Relief in Transforaminal and Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks
Low back pain is a symptom that is frequently seen in the general population and reduces the quality of life of patients. Conventional medical treatment for patients with low back pain includes oral medication, lifestyle modification, education, exercises, lumbar traction and manual manipulation, heat application, and other interventional procedures.
