ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well different surgical methods work for treating incisional hernias, which are hernias that occur through a previous surgical incision in the abdomen. The study will gather information from patients who had emergency surgery for this condition to understand how their recovery went in the first 30 days after surgery, as well as over a longer period of time. Researchers will specifically compare two types of surgery: one that uses small incisions (minimally invasive) and another that involves larger cuts (laparotomic) to see if one method leads to better results.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have undergone urgent or emergency surgery for an incisional hernia. Unfortunately, pregnant women, patients over 80, and those with certain types of hernias will not be included. Those who take part in the study can expect their past surgical outcomes to be reviewed and compared, which will help improve future treatments for this condition. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and both men and women are welcome to join.
