Study on Benefits of Complex Abdominal Wall Surgery for Incisional Hernia on Quality of Life, Digestive and Sexual Functions

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying patients who develop an incisional hernia after abdominal surgery. This condition causes the abdominal organs to push through the scar tissue, which can lead to posture problems, pain, and reduced quality of life. The study aims to better understand the digestive and sexual difficulties linked to these hernias, as well as the benefits of surgical repair on these functions and overall well-being. Participants will undergo reconstructive surgery to repair the hernia, either through open surgery or laparoscopy. They will complete questionnaires before and after surgery to assess symptoms related to constipation, digestive function, and quality of life. The study focuses on how surgery may improve muscle tension, anatomical balance, and reduce functional limitations caused by the hernia. During the study, patients will answer questionnaires evaluating constipation symptoms and quality of life related to digestive and sexual functions over a period of up to 25 months. Researchers will use these assessments to measure the impact of surgery on patients daily lives and functions. The study is observational and involves monitoring patients experiences before and after their scheduled hernia repair surgery.
