A Multicenter Belgian Trial of Ventral Hernia Repair (UNITE)

Sponsor: University Hospital, Ghent

Summary

Patients with incisional midline ventral hernias with a minimal width of 3 cm and a maximal width of 8 cm, treated according to the standard practice of the participating investigators. Patients can be treated with the following ventral hernia repair approaches: * Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (IPOM+) * Open ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (retromuscular repair) * Robotic ventral hernia repair with closure of the defect (retromuscular repair) To evaluate the total number of days spent in the hospital within a period of 90 days post-operative. This will be calculated by adding the hospital length of stay for initial surgery or index-procedure, length of stay for any additional readmission resulting from the surgery or re-interventions, and emergency room visits resulting from the surgery or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) related to the index-procedure. Secondary objectives: To assess the safety, performance and efficacy of laparoscopic, open and robotic ventral hernia repair.
