Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Renal Transplantation
Randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy of mesh reinforcement in laparotomy closure in renal transplantation as measured by reduction in the incidence of incisional hernia at 2 years post-transplantation.
Prevention of Hernia After Loop Ileostomy Reversal
PHaLIR is a prospective, double-blinded randomized study in which patients planned for stoma reversal after rectal cancer surgery are randomized between retro muscular mesh Ultrapro Advanced or standard treatment without mesh.
Esophagogastric Junction Distensibility During Hiatal Hernia Repair
The investigators aim to ascertain the effects of hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication on the distensibility of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) as measured by FLIP topography/impedance planimetry. The investigators also aim to assess for any correlation between values of EGJ distensibility and GERD related quality of life (QOL) and dysphagia …
Immune Response During the Conservative and Minimal Invasive Treatment of Pain Caused by Lumbar Disc Herniation
Bulging of the intervertebral disc in the lumbar part of the spine is one of the most common degenerative changes of the spine in the elderly population, which causes various symptoms such as radicular pain. Possible mechanisms of radicular pain are mechanical compression of the intervertebral disc on the nerve …
Sutures Versus Polyglactin Mesh in Hiatal Hernia Repair
Paraesophageal hernia causes pain, heartburn, regurgitation, anemia and in extreme, life-threatening strangulation. For symptomatic patients, laparoscopic surgery is offered which includes hiatal defect closure and antireflux surgery. However, recurrence rates are high between 12 and 42%. In order to reduce recurrences, mesh has been used with various materials and techniques …
Suture Repair vs Mesh Repair for Incisional Hernia
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the difference in quality of life at one year postoperatively for patients undergoing incisional hernia repair with mesh versus suture repair using modern techniques. The main question it aims to answer are: • Determine if primary suture repair is non-inferior …
Trial of FETO for Severe Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
This is a single site pilot trial to study the feasibility of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) therapy in the most severe group of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's). This procedure aims to increase fetal lung volume …
Mesh Vs Pledgets for Repair of Paraesophageal Hernia
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare whether the use of Ovitex mesh provides superior reduction in 2-year recurrence compared to pledgeted suture closure (no mesh) for patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair at the Cleveland Clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine whether there is …
Impact of Biosynthetic Mesh on Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
The aim of this study is to find out if using a certain kind of mesh can reduce the chances of hiatal hernias coming back after anti-reflux surgery. Participants undergoing antireflux surgery will be assigned to one of two groups, a group that has surgery with mesh, or a group …
Evaluating Clinical Hiatal Hernia Outcomes Using OviTex®
This study will evaluate hiatal hernia recurrence rate and post-operative complications following the use of OviTex Core Resorbable or OviTex 1S Resorbable.
