Official title
OMEGA Trial: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Non-inferiority Trial of Only MEsh Fixation With a Glue Applicator Comparing Traumatic vs Atraumatic Fixation of the Mesh in Ventral/Incisional Laparoscopic Repair
Overview
This multicenter randomized controlled non-inferiority trial of only mesh fixation with a glue applicator is a trial to evaluate the outcomes between atraumatic laparoscopic mesh fixation with GLUTACK-Glubran2® and conventional traumatic fixation, so the primary endpoint of the study is to analyze the recurrence on ventral or incisional hernia repair 2 years postoperatively assessed by a clinical and/or imaging technique.
Detailed description
Patients older than 18 years undergoing an elective ventral/incisional hernia laparoscopic repair with a hernia defect between 4-10cm of transversal defect The patients included are adults with a BMI lesser than 35 Kg/m2 undergoing an elective laparoscopic primary ventral or incisional hernia repair with a fascial transverse defect between 4-8 cm (W2 EHS) on anterior or lateral location (M1-M5 up to 10 cm of length or L1-3) For the interventional procedure, three ports are used (1x11 mm and 2x5 mm) and after adhesiolysis and the field prepared, the defect is measured with a local standard in a craneo-caudal and transversal directions. Then, the defect is closed with a 2-0 caliber barbed suture following its biggest axis. A Dynamesh IPOM previously hydrated (2-3 min) is introduced throughout the 11mm trocar and extended. After this maneuver, mesh fixation is performed depending on the randomized arm (125 per arm): either traumatic fixation with the conventional procedure and device or with Glutack-Glubran®2.
After two years of follow-up, the recurrence will be analyzed.
Interventions
- Device Glutack
Three ports are used (1x11 mm and 2x5 mm) and after adhesiolysis and the field prepared, the defect is measured with a local standard in a craneo-caudal and transversal directions. Then, the defect is closed with a 2-0 caliber barbed suture following its biggest axis. A Dynamesh IPOM previously hydrated (2-3 min) is introduced throughout the 11mm trocar and extended. After this maneuver, mesh fixation is performed depending on the randomized arm: Glutack - Device Conventional

Primary outcome measures
- Rate of the recurrence on ventral or incisional hernia repair 2 years postoperatively assessed by a clinical and/or imaging technique. [Time frame: 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Rate of postoperative pain between atraumatic and traumatic fixation of the mesh (EuraHS Quality of life scale: 0-10). Ten is the worst outcome [Time frame: 2 years]
- Types of comorbidities related on the surgery as visceral adhesions, seroma, hematoma, bulging, port site incisional hernia, recurrence [Time frame: 2 years]
- Quality of life (QoL) between the two types of fixations with the EuraHS scale at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. EurasHS scale of 10 is the worst outcome [Time frame: 2 years]
