What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Recurrence rate at 12 months determined by clinical examination
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
Intraoperative complications
Defined as complications occurring during index-procedure from "skin-into-skin". The following events must be reported in the case report form:
- enterotomy (bowel injury)
- major bleeding requiring blood transfusion or reintervention
- complications due to anesthesia
- minor bleeding at a trocar insertion site
Measured: peri-procedural
Post-operative complications
Defined as complications up to 30 days after index-procedure. The following events should be reported in the case report form:
- local numbness
- hematoma
- seroma
- superficial trocar site infection
- mesh infection
- hernia recurrence
- death
Measured: up to 30 days
Seroma
The rate of seroma at 1 month after index-procedure.
Measured: 1 month
Freedom from hernia-related reinterventions
Reinterventions at 12 months after index-procedure
Measured: 12 months
Late complications
Late complications at 12 months after index-procedure:
- prolonged pain more than 8 weeks
- local numbness
- hernia recurrence
Measured: 12 months

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?
Recurrence rate at 12 months determined by clinical examination (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01816867, which also lists 1 linked publication.
