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 …
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. …
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 …
Robotic Minimally Invasive Inguinal Hernia Repair Post-Market Clinical Study With the DEXTER Robotic System
The purpose of this post-market, observational study is to collect data under anticipated conditions of use that demonstrates that DEXTER performs as intended in the intended patient population, including a variety of representative disease etiologies and demographic groups.
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 …
Onlay Synthetic Bioabsorbable Mesh Herniorrhaphy Versus Herniorrhaphy Only in the Primary Treatment of Large Hiatal Hernia
The large hiatal hernia (LHH) now represents approximately 50% of laparoscopic antireflux surgical practice. In a non-comparative retrospective study of 399 patients operated for LHH with onlay patch of a bioprosthetic absorbable (Gore® Bio-A® HH0710) mesh with a mean follow-up of 44 months, 16% had a symptomatic recurrence with 7,9% …
Early Clinical Outcomes of High-Purity Type I Collagen as a Biologic Reinforcement in Selected Hernia Repair Scenarios
This prospective, single-arm clinical study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and early clinical outcomes of High-Purity Type I Collagen (HPTC; Surgicoll-Mesh®) when used as a biologic reinforcement in selected hernia repair scenarios where permanent synthetic mesh placement is undesirable. Outcomes focus on early postoperative safety, wound healing, and complication profiles over …
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. Epidural …
