Clinical Trial: Duramesh Versus Minimally Invasive IPOM for High-Risk Umbilical Hernia Repairs

U.S., Oct. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07881354) titled 'Duramesh Versus Minimally Invasive IPOM for High-Risk Umbilical Hernia Repairs' on Oct. 05.

Brief Summary: Umbilical hernias are common, and repair with mesh lowers the risk of the hernia coming back compared with stitches alone. Most evidence comes from lower-risk patients. Patients with obesity, diabetes, smoking, or COPD have more complications after hernia repair, and the best repair for them is unclear. Minimally invasive intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) places mesh inside the abdomen, which may cause pain and long-term mesh problems. Duramesh is a mesh suture that spreads tension across the repair and avoids placing flat mesh...
