The Effect of Postoperative Abdominal Binder to Improve Outcomes After Incisional Hernia Repair
A study testing Abdominal binder in people with Incisional Hernia, run by Hvidovre University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.
Trial summary
Postoperative seroma formation is one of the most common complications after ventral hernia repair with mesh. Although some seromas may not have clinical impact postoperative seroma formation often causes pain and discomfort and may even compromise wound healing. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Effect of Postoperative Abdominal Binder to Reduce Seroma Formation and Improve Early Clinical Outcome After Incisional Hernia Repair.
Postoperative seroma formation is one of the most common complications after ventral hernia repair with mesh. Although some seromas may not have clinical impact postoperative seroma formation often causes pain and discomfort and may even compromise wound healing. Abdominal binders (also called trusses, girdle, ostomy belt, longuette or abdominal belt) (AB) are commonly used in abdominal and plastic surgery to prevent seroma formation and diminish pain and discomfort after operation. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of postoperative abdominal binders after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair on postoperative pain, discomfort and quality of life. Secondary, we register seroma formation. A randomized, controlled, investigator-blinded study supplemented with blinded statistical analysis. We include 60 (2x30) incisional hernia repairs. Patients are randomized either to abdominal binder or no abdominal binder (controls). The abdominal binder is worn from immediately after the operation and continuously for 7 days and nights. All patients have a standardized operation with standardized intra- and postoperative medication regimen. Endpoints measurements are clinically detectable seroma formation scored with seroma classification system buý S. Morales-Conde, pain scored with self-registrations with VAS, and quality of life scored with EQ-5D, recurrence and other complications are also registered. Patients are followed until 90 days after the operation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Abdominal binderDevice
Also called ETO garments©, ostomy belt, trusses, girdle
The abdominal binder is worn from immediately after the operation and continuously for 7 days and nights. The belts are standard abdominal binders (ostomy belts) from "ETO garments©" with standard height of 22 cm. and five different sizes in width (S, M, L, XL, XXL- depending on waist measure). A fitting will be done for all included patients before the operation by waist measurement according to the recommendation from the company (see below). When applied, the patients are advised to apply the belt in a lying position.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| abdominal binder | Active comparator | use of postoperative abdominal binder 30 days after the hernia repair Receives: Device: Abdominal binder |
| No abdominal binder | No intervention | No intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
seroma formation
clinically detectable seroma formation
Measured: 30 days postoperatively
Secondary outcomes (1)
postoperative pain
Measured with self-registration VAS scales
Measured: pain during the postoperative days 1-3, 7, and 30.

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
seroma formation (time frame: 30 days postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Aug 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
