From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Mar 2024, 2 years 7 months ago, but the record still lists the study as recruiting.
  • Registered 10 months after the study started (first participant enrolled Mar 2023, registered Feb 2024).
  • Started Mar 2023; still recruiting 3 years 7 months later.

Study summary

Incisional hernia related to the umbilical trocar site is probably the most frequent complication after laparoscopic surgical procedures. However, this is an underestimated sequelae of laparoscopic surgery which may involve an important morbidity and an increase in healthcare costs.

The incidence of incisional trocar site hernia ranges from 20 to 35% of patients after laparoscopic surgery depending on the different investigations. Prophylactic meshes have been tried in an attempt to reduce the incidence of this complication in obese patients. In that sense, suture-meshes can be an alternative to conventional meshes to improve the incidence of incisional hernias.

INDURATE TRIAL aims to test if suture-mesh is capable of reducing the incidence of incisional hernia in patients with risk factors for the development of this frequent complication when compared with conventional monofilament sutures.

In context

Wound Infection

270 studies on the registry are indexed under Wound Infection; 33 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 124 is below the median of 141 across 228 interventional studies indexed under Wound Infection.

  • Conversion to laparotomy
  • Pregnancy
  • Ascites or cirrhosis

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of the umbilical trocar site hernia in each group

    Evaluation of the incidence of umbilical trocar site hernia in duramesh group compared with the control group

    Time frame: 12 monts

Secondary outcomes

  1. Infectious complications of the wound

    Evaluation of the infectious complications related to umbilical wound after laparoscopic surgery. Compare the incidence of these complications in each group

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Seroma and hematoma

    Evaluation of the seroma and hematoma related to umbilical wound after laparoscopic surgery. Compare the incidence of these complications in each group

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Intraabdominal events

    Evaluation of intraabdominal events (fluid collections, bleeding, peritonitis...) and compare the incidence in each group.

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Skin dehiscence and/or necrosis

    Evaluate the incidence of skin complications in each group.

    Time frame: 12 months

  5. Early aponeurotic failure (evisceration)

    Evaluation of early aponeurotic failure after laparoscopic procuderes and compare the incidence between the two different groups.

    Time frame: 12 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
