About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial Comparing Laparoscopy VS Conventional Mesh Repair of Incisional and Umbilical Hernia
The aim of this study is to compare immediate and long-term (24 months) results of laparoscopic and open mesh repair of incisional and umbilical hernia.
Read the detailed description
The aim of this study is to compare immediate and long-term (24 months) results of laparoscopic and open mesh repair of incisional and umbilical hernia.
Five hundred patients will be included in this randomized, multicentric trial.
Hypotheses are that laparoscopic approach: 1- reduces immediate parietal complications without increasing intra abdominal septic complications 2- is less invasive and also reduces patients' hospital stay and recovery time; 3- has the same efficacy, than open approach.
- Conditions
- Incisional Hernia, Umbilical Hernia
- Being tested
- Laparoscopic mesh hernia repair, Open anterior approach
- Keywords
- Laparoscopy, Incisional hernia, Umbilical hernia, Mesh repair, Postoperative complications
- Medical subject headings
- Incisional Hernia, Hernia, Umbilical, Postoperative Complications
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Laparoscopic mesh hernia repairProcedure or surgery
Also called laparoscpic mesh repair of incisional and umbilical hernia
The mesh is intraperitoneal
Open anterior approachProcedure or surgery
Also called Conventional treatment of incisional and umbilical hernia
The mesh is placed by an anterior approach. It is placed after incision of the skin over or under the abdominal muscles, or is intraperitoneal
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Laparoscopic approach | Experimental | group A: Laparoscopic approach Receives: Procedure: Laparoscopic mesh hernia repair |
| Open approach | Active comparator | group B: Open anterior approach Receives: Procedure: Open anterior approach |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Laparoscopic mesh hernia repair and Open anterior approach in people with Incisional Hernia and Umbilical Hernia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of recrutment). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Parietal postoperative complications: 1- haematoma, 2- abscess, 3- seroma 4- cutaneous necrosis (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00970515, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
