What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Posterior Component Separation with Transversus Abdominis Muscle ReleaseProcedure or surgery

    Also called Transversus Abdominis Muscle Release

    The posterior component separation technique with transversus abdominis muscle release was done as prescribed in Novitsky et al in 2012.

  • Mesh-only repairProcedure or surgery

    The prosthetic mesh only repair was done as described by Wantz in 1991.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Posterior Component Separation with Transversus Abdominis Muscle Release and Mesh-only repair in people with Hernia, Ventral and Hernia Incisional, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 17 Aug 2020. 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 Egypt. 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 Mostafa shalaby, MD, MSc, PhD (00201001645917, mostafashalaby@mans.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hernia recurrence (time frame: after 12 months). 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 NCT04516031, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Aug 2020.
