Suture Repair vs Mesh Repair for Incisional Hernia (NCT05599750)
A Modern Comparison of Suture Repair With Mesh Repair for Incisional Hernia
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the difference in quality of life at one year postoperatively for patients undergoing incisional hernia repair with mesh versus suture repair using modern techniques. The main question it aims to answer are: • Determine if primary suture repair is non-inferior to mesh repair for incisional hernias 2-6cm with respect to quality of life using the HerQLes summary score at one year postoperatively.
