About this study

Official title: Retrospective Analysis on Large Incisional Hernia in High Risk Patients: the Innovative "Neo-peritoneum" Approach With a Composite Mesh

Large incisional hernia (LIH) is a challenging condition where the abdominal wall is hopelessly compromised. Nowadays the best treatment option in this particularly frail subset of patients is a major issue. The Auhtors proposed the clinical experience with an innovative approach with the composite Free Lateral Polypropylene prosthesis (FLaPp®) mesh fashioned as "neoperitoneum" analyzing its feasibility and short/medium term results.

What participants receive

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

  • hernioplastic and insertion of FLaPp® composite meshProcedure or surgery

    After the reduction of the large incisional hernia, the polypropylene transparent film of this mesh (lower flap) was sutured to the margins of the residual peritoneum and posterior rectus sheath as a "neo-peritoneum"; the macroporous light polypropylene layer (upper flap) was then sutured circumferentially with full-thickness transabdominal stitches in the retromuscular space.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early surgical outcome of FLaPp® prosthesis classified according to Clavien Dindo Classification

    evaluation of feasibility of FLaPp® prosthesis in patients affected by LIH by the assessment of postoperative morbidity classified according to Clavien Dindo Classification

    Measured: one month

  2. Evaluation of pain after FLaPp® prosthesis

    Evaluation of postoperative pain through Visual Analague Scale

    Measured: one month

  3. Mortality after FLaPp® prosthesis

    Rate of posoperative mortality after FLaPp® prosthesis

    Measured: One month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incisional hernia recurrence at medium term

    assessment of postoperative recurrence after 36 months evaluated with clinical outcpatient control and CT scan

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Patients' satisfatcion after FLaPp® prosthesis

    Evaluated through the so-called 36 items Short-Form health survey

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hernioplastic and insertion of FLaPp® composite mesh in people with Incisional Hernia and Large Incisional Hernia, run by University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Early surgical outcome of FLaPp® prosthesis classified according to Clavien Dindo Classification (time frame: one month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Jun 2022.
