Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) Umbilical Hernia Repair (UHR) Absorbable vs Non-absorbable Synthetic Mesh

Stopped: study was never opened and PI now leaving institution

0Started 2025-03

Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to see which of two types of mesh is better for fixing an umbilical hernia. One type of mesh is an absorbable synthetic mesh, which goes away on its own in the body, and the other type of mesh is a non-absorbable mesh, which stays in the body forever. The researchers will check if the hernia comes back, how it affects the patient's quality of life, and if there are any problems after the surgery during a three-year period.
