Rate of complication [ Time Frame: 3 year period of follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Complications will be assessed over a 3 year period of regular follow-up by an objective surgeon who is unaware of which surgical method which was used. Eventual complications may include infection, bleeding, seroma and fistula formation.

  • Ventral Hernia Pain Questionnaire (VHPQ) [ Time Frame: 1 year period of follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    All subjects will complete the VHPQ which will be used to assess their pre- and postoperative pain.
  • Abdominal wall function [ Time Frame: 3 year period of follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    All subjects will undergo testing of abdominal wall function and strength using the Biodex.

Evaluation of a New Surgical Method for the Repair of Large Ventral Hernia
Randomized Controlled Study of a New Surgical Method for the Repair of Large Ventral Hernia

This is a prospective randomized study to compare surgical methods for the repair of large abdominal hernia.

Patients with giant (>10 cm in diameter) abdominal wall hernia are included in a prospective randomized study comparing conventional mesh repair with the best possible method to onlay full thickness skin grafts.
Interventional
