Evaluating the Efficacy of Suture Mesh vs. Planar Mesh in Ventral Hernia Treatment
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Abdominal Wall Hernia, Umbilical Hernia Repair, Epigastric Hernia Repair
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether mesh-suture affects wound complication rates, patient-reported quality of life, and operation time in adult patients undergoing surgery for small ventral hernias. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mesh-suture reduce wound complication rates compared to planar mesh? Does mesh-suture improve patient-reported quality of life(QoL) and affect operation time compared to planar mesh? Comparison group: Researchers will compare standard treatment with planar mesh to the interventional treatment with mesh-suture to see whether mesh-suture leads to fewer complications, better quality of life, and shorter operation time. Participants will: Be randomized to receive either planar mesh or mesh-suture during hernia repair surgery. Undergo standardized preoperative assessment, including baseline data and QoL scoring. Attend a postoperative visit on day 7-13 for wound inspection and ultrasound. Complete QoL assessments at 90 days (telephone follow-up). Have operation time recorded and medical records reviewed for readmissions within 90 days.
