Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to describe the outcomes of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair surgery and to record the outcomes of patients after surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For subjects who agree to participate in this study, participation will last for 1 year. Subjects will undergo all the routine preoperative testing, the same as would be required if they were not participating in this study. This testing includes a blood sample and an electrocardiogram (ECG). Follow up visits will be done at 2 weeks after surgery, 6 weeks after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. Except for the 1 year visit, these office visits are routine and would be requested even if you were not participating in this study. At each of these visits, subjects will be asked about their level of pain and the amount and type of pain medication their are taking. Data gathered for this study will be on outcomes only.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair

Subjects with an incisional, ventral, umbilical, or spigelian hernia no larger tham 15 cm at the largest measurement, who are candidates for laparoscopic repair of the hernia, and who are able to commit to long-term followup. Laparoscopic repair will proceed as per the standard technique, using polyester mesh.

No interventions assigned to this group
