While mesh ingrowth and shrink-age has been analysed in the experimental setting, there is scarce data available in humans. In addition, different mesh fixation techniques are applied, but the influence of mesh fixation on shrinkage is not known in human patients.\n\nMesh shrinkage is assessed using two different techniques for fixation.\n\nBlinded randomized trial using a Parietene composite mesh for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Patients with ventral hernias of no larger than 8 cm were assigned to either mesh fixation using transfacial nonabsorbable sutures or titan tacks. Primary endpoint was mesh migration, secondary endpoints were mesh shrinkage, surgical morbidity and pain.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with incisional hernia smaller than 8cm in diameter\n* obtained informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnancy\n* Residual intraperitoneal mesh\n* contaminated abdominal cavity\n* longterm use of corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents\n* bodymass index \\> 45\n* general contradictions for laparoscopy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00773851', 'briefTitle': 'Transfacial Sutures Versus Stapler for Mesh Fixation in Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair', 'organization': {'class': 'INDUSTRY', 'fullName': 'Medtronic - MITG'}, 'officialTitle': 'Mesh Shrinkage Following Transfacial Suturing Versus Stapler for Mesh Fixation in Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: a Prospective, Randomised Blinded Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'KEK_11/05'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'A', 'description': 'transfacial sutures', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: mesh fixation by transfacial sutures']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'B', 'description': 'staples', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: mesh fixation by staples']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'mesh fixation by transfacial sutures', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'mesh fixation by transfacial sutures', 'armGroupLabels': ['A']}, {'name': 'mesh fixation by staples', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'mesh fixation by staples', 'armGroupLabels': ['B']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '3010', 'city': 'Bern', 'country': 'Switzerland', 'facility': 'Dep. of Visceral and Transplantsurgery, Bern University Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 46.94809, 'lon': 7.44744}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Guido1 Beldi, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Bern University Hospital'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Medtronic - MITG', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Sofradim Production', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
