INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the difference in quality of life at one year postoperatively for patients undergoing incisional hernia repair with mesh versus suture repair using modern techniques. The main question it aims to answer are: • Determine if primary suture repair is non-inferior to mesh repair for incisional hernias 2-6cm with respect to quality of life using the HerQLes summary score at one year postoperatively.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Adults \>18 years old.
- Anticipated hernia defect 2-6cm in width
- Non-emergent case
- CDC class I
- Patients who previously underwent primary ventral hernia repair without the use of mesh
- Incisional hernia
Exclusion Criteria7
- Emergent cases
- Patients \< 18 years old
- Patients who are pregnant
- Patients who previously underwent a prior ventral hernia repair with mesh at the site of the intended repair. Abdominal mesh in separate locations would be allowed.
- Ventral hernia \<2cm or \> 6 cm in width
- Primary hernia
- CDC wound class II-IV
