What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recurrence rate at 12 months determined by clinical examination

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Intraoperative complications

    Defined as complications occurring during index-procedure from "skin-into-skin". The following events must be reported in the case report form:

    • enterotomy (bowel injury)
    • major bleeding requiring blood transfusion or reintervention
    • complications due to anesthesia
    • minor bleeding at a trocar insertion site

    Measured: peri-procedural

  2. Post-operative complications

    Defined as complications up to 30 days after index-procedure. The following events should be reported in the case report form:

    • local numbness
    • hematoma
    • seroma
    • superficial trocar site infection
    • mesh infection
    • hernia recurrence
    • death

    Measured: up to 30 days

  3. Seroma

    The rate of seroma at 1 month after index-procedure.

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Freedom from hernia-related reinterventions

    Reinterventions at 12 months after index-procedure

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Late complications

    Late complications at 12 months after index-procedure:

    • prolonged pain more than 8 weeks
    • local numbness
    • hernia recurrence

    Measured: 12 months

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?
