GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial Product Study

This study is tracking outcomes for patients who have had hernia repair surgery using a specific surgical mesh product called GORE ENFORM Biomaterial. This is a post-market registry study — meaning the device is already approved for clinical use, and the study is collecting real-world data on how well it performs over time for ventral (abdominal wall) or hiatal (diaphragm) hernia repairs. Participants will be followed over time to measure hernia recurrence rates, complication rates, and recovery outcomes. Some participants are enrolled before surgery; others are enrolled after surgery using the same device, with their prior records reviewed retrospectively. You may be eligible if... - You are 18 years of age or older - You are having (or had) a single-site ventral or hiatal hernia repair using GORE ENFORM Biomaterial - Your hernia is a clean (Class I) surgical wound and Grade 1 or 2 severity - Your BMI is 40 or under - You are willing to attend follow-up visits You may NOT be eligible if... - You have a systemic infection, cirrhosis, or kidney failure requiring dialysis - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You are immunocompromised (HIV, organ transplant, chemotherapy or radiation) - You have a wound-healing disorder or a stoma - Your BMI is above 40 Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
