Study population

The study will include adult patients with primary ventral hernias who are eligible for elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using the IPOM technique

Adult patients aged 18 years or older. Patients diagnosed clinically and/or radiologically with primary ventral hernia.

Patients planned for elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using the IPOM technique.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Adult patients aged 18 years or older.
  2. Patients diagnosed clinically and/or radiologically with primary ventral hernia.
  3. Patients planned for elective laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using the IPOM technique.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Patients unfit for general anesthesia or laparoscopic surgery.
  2. Complicated hernias requiring emergency open surgery, such as strangulated hernia, bowel ischemia, perforation, or generalized peritonitis.
  3. Incisional ventral hernias
  4. Recurrent hernias
  5. Active abdominal wall infection, skin ulceration over the hernia, or contaminated operative field.
  6. Pregnancy.
  7. Refusal to provide or inability to complete postoperative follow-up.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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 Aug 28, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
