Environmental Risk Factors of Mesh Infection After Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair

An observational study of Surgical Site Infection, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

Trial summary

Mesh infection is the main complication in abdominal hernia repair. In case of infection, a conservative management of mesh is not always possible. The removal of the mesh (occurring in 5.1% to 8% of wall hernia repair) increases the risk of recurrence and surgical morbidity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Morbidity of Abdominal Wall Hernia Reconstruction With Mesh: Study of Environmental Risk Factors in the Operating Room in the CHRU of Nancy- a Prospective Study

Mesh infection is the main complication in abdominal hernia repair. In case of infection, a conservative management of mesh is not always possible. The removal of the mesh (occurring in 5.1% to 8% of wall hernia repair) increases the risk of recurrence and surgical morbidity.

Within our digestive surgery department (CHRU de Nancy), an infection rate of 10.7% (32 cases out of 298 patients with wall hernia repair) was observed between January 2016 and December 2018. This rate is higher than those usually described in the literature.

Several studies have identified predictors of mesh infection and explantation after abdominal wall hernia repair. The influence of the operating environment (temperature, hygrometry, pressure, number of people present, etc.) has, to our knowledge, never been studied.

If the risk of prosthesis infection is influenced by one or more of these extrinsic characteristics, it is possible to act on these practices to reduce this risk.

The main purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics specific to the intervention and the operating environment associated with mesh infection after abdominal wall hernia reconstruction

Read the detailed description

It's a prospective, mono-centric study carried out on a cohort of patients followed in the digestive surgery department of the CHRU of Nancy

All patients who underwent a wall hernia repair between 28/12/2017 and 28/12/2020 in the digestive and general surgery department of the CHU of Nancy were included.

During the operative time, the nurses have to fill a survey with characteristics specific to the intervention and the operating environment.

Patients in this study have been followed for at least one year at the Nancy CHRU in order to be aware of the occurence of mesh infection and surgery for mesh explantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with surgical site infection

    patient has at least one of the following:

    purulent drainage from the deep incision. a deep incision that spontaneously dehisces, or is deliberately opened or aspirated by a surgeon, physician* or physician designee AND organism(s) identified from the deep soft tissues of the incision by a culture or non-culture based microbiologic testing method which is performed for purposes of clinical diagnosis or treatment (for example, not Active Surveillance Culture/Testing (ASC/AST)) or culture or non-culture based microbiologic testing method is not performed. A culture or non-culture based test from the deep soft tissues of the incision that has a negative finding does not meet this criterion. AND patient has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever (>38°C); localized pain or tenderness.

    an abscess or other evidence of infection involving the deep incision that is detected on gross anatomical or histopathologic exam, or imaging test.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with surgery for mesh explantation

    Surgery for mesh explantation

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgical Site Infection, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Estelle Vigneron (0619676726, e.vigneron@hotmail.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with surgical site infection (time frame: up to 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Dec 2019.
