Robotic Versus Open Ventral Hernia Repair
This is a randomized trial comparing open retromuscular ventral hernia repair to robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repair.
Mass Closure vs Layer by Layer Closure
to assess two different ways of closure of laparotomy in children and infants
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.
Surgical Mesh in Radical Cystectomy to Prevent Parastomal Hernias
Radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion serves as a foundational curative treatment strategy for selected patients afflicted with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Parastomal hernia after this procedure is an underestimated and undertreated clinical entity, which heavily impairs patients' quality of life due to symptoms of pain, leakage, application …
Reducing the Incidence of Incisional Hernia After Stoma Closure Using a Prophylactic Mesh
Background Preliminary studies have shown that application of a prophylactic mesh during stoma closure reduces the incidence of incisional hernia at site of stoma closure. Methods/Design: The study will be a randomized controlled single-blinded monocentric study determining the 1-year incidence of incisional hernia in cancer patients undergoing ileostomy or colostomy …
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 …
Methocarbamol in Ventral and Inguinal HR
The purpose of this study is to gather information on methocarbamol as a pain management treatment for ventral or inguinal hernia repair. Methocarbamol has been part of the pain management treatment for both inpatient and outpatient procedures at Prisma Health. This study will compare the outcomes of patients who receive …
Post-operative Pain Control-TAP Block Using Exparel vs. Marcaine for Hernia Repairs
While studies have shown improved postoperative pain control with TAP blocks after inguinal and ventral hernia repair, data comparing Liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) to bupivacaine alone in formulation of the TAP block is particularly scarce. Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized trial comparing the postoperative pain control in minimally invasive ventral …
Pilot Trial of Abdominal Core Rehabilitation To Improve Outcomes After Ventral Hernia Repair
This study aims to evaluate the potential role of physical therapy in improving outcomes after ventral hernia repair.
Video-based Collaborative Learning to Improve Ventral Hernia Repair
Recent studies demonstrate the critical role of individual surgeon performance, including both the approach they take to an operation as well as their technical skill, in determining patient outcomes. Utilizing the rich data collected by the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC), formerly Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative (AHSQC), for …
