Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Study population: The study will include eligible patients identified from the hospital medical records of the Department of General Surgery, Surgical Oncology and Laparoscopic Surgery at Sohag University Hospital. Patients will be classified into two groups: * Cases: Patients who developed incisional hernia following major abdominal surgery performed during the preceding two years. * Controls: Patients who underwent major abdominal surgery during the same period but did not develop incisional hernia. Controls will be randomly selected from the same source population as the cases using a computer-generated random-number sequence, at a 1:1 ratio to ensure comparability between the two groups.
Who may be able to join
- Patients aged 18 years or older.
- patients who underwent major abdominal surgery including both elective and emergency surgeries.
- Patients with complete medical records and operative data.
- Patients willing to participate in the study.
Who cannot join
- Patients younger than 18 years.
- Patients with recurrent incisional hernia.
- Patients with incomplete medical records or missing data on key study variables.
- Patients who refused to participate in the study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Incisional Hernia Occurence, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2026. 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 Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Shaza M Diaa, Demonstrator (+201119093616, shazadiaa7@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
surgical site infection (time frame: within 10 days after surgery). 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 NCT07790172, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 27 Aug 2026.
