Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

In this study, two different techniques for the surgery of an abdominal wall hernia are compared. In the technique to be studied, the mesh, which is introduced to reinforce the hernia closure, is planned outside the abdominal cavity. In the comparison technique, the mesh is introduced inside the abdominal cavity.
Which procedure is applied to the respective study participants is decided by lottery, and the study participant learns at the earliest 7 days after the operation which technique was used.
Surgical techniques are established and are routinely applied at all three study centers. Which technique is superior, however, remains unclear according to current literature.
The primary endpoint of the study is the occurrence of pain 24 hours after the operation. Other endpoints to be investigated include pain after 7 days, 2 and 6 weeks, complications, the duration of the operation and hospital stay, and costs.
