An observational study in Predictor of Mesh Condition, sponsored by Sargodha Medical College. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10.
Sponsored by Sargodha Medical College · Observational
To determine the frequency of mesh infection in patient with open Incisional hernioplasty and to compare factors contributing with and without mesh infection
This prospective observational study will evaluate predictors of mesh infection following open incisional hernioplasty. Eligible patients with incisional hernia undergoing open mesh repair will be consecutively enrolled at the Department of Surgery, Dr. Faisal Masood Teaching Hospital, Sargodha. Demographic, clinical, anthropometric, and relevant perioperative factors will be recorded using a structured data collection form.
Patients will be followed postoperatively at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year to assess the development of mesh infection and other related outcomes. Patients who develop mesh infection will be compared with those who remain infection-free to identify significant predictors. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26, with appropriate statistical tests and logistic regression to determine independent predictors of mesh infection.
Sargodha Medical College is the lead sponsor of 13 studies on the registry; 5 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Participants undergoing open Incisional hernioplasty who develop mesh related infection during the postoperative followup period
Number and percentage of participants with Mesh related infection following open Incisional hernioplasty
Development of mesh related infection following open Incisional hernioplasty assessed during postoperative followup will be accessed by clinical examination of the surgical site. The outcome will be measured as the number of participants who developed mesh related infection and percentage of mesh related infection.
Time frame: 1 month, 3 months and 1 year after surgery
