U.S., April 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07531615) titled 'Assessment of Intra-abdominal Pressure During the Perioperative Period of Hernia Repair' on April 08.
Brief Summary: Thousands of patients worldwide undergo abdominal surgery every day; 2-11% of laparotomies will progress to an incisional hernia, particularly midline laparotomies, which are associated with higher hernia rates, reaching up to 70% in obese patients (1,2).

The main risk factors for incisional hernia formation or recurrence include surgical site infection, surgical ...
