Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Primary Endpoint is the Rate of Hernia Recurrence in Study Patients.

    A recurrent hernia is a hernia, confirmed by the investigator at any point within the first year after surgery, in the same location as the hernia repaired in the index procedure.

    1 year post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Perioperative Complications Will be Assessed by Evaluation of the Procedural and Device Related Adverse Events (AEs) Collected From the Time Surgery is Initiated Until the Day the Patient is Discharged From the Hospital.

    From the time of surgery to hospital discharge, an average of 1-2 days

  • Short-term Complications Will be Assessed by Evaluation of the Procedural and Device Related AEs Collected From the Day After the Patient is Discharged From the Hospital Until 21 Days Post Procedure.

    Hospital discharge through 21 days post surgery

  • Long-term Complications Will be Assessed by Evaluation of the Procedural and Device Related AEs Collected After 21 Days up to 1 Year.

    22 days post surgery through 1 year post surgery

  • Quality of Life Will be Assessed at Baseline Through 1 Year Utilizing the Carolinas Comfort Scale Survey

    Baseline and post-surgery at week 2, month 6 and month 12

  • Procedure Time

    Day of surgery

Study Arms (1)

Ventrio Group

Patients diagnosed with a ventral hernia requiring an open surgery for repair.

Device: Bard Ventrio Hernia Patch

Interventions

The Ventrio Hernia Patch is a self-expanding, non-absorbable, sterile prosthesis for use in the reconstruction of soft tissue deficiencies, such as for the repair of hernias.

Ventrio Group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects with a diagnosis of ventral hernia will be screened for eligibility against the study protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria utilizing standard preoperative criteria (e.g. physical examination, blood work, medical evaluation, etc) which occurred within 30 days of the date of consent.

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female, age ≥ 18
  • Be able to undergo study procedures
  • Have signed an Informed Consent form (ICF)
  • Be diagnosed with a ventral hernia requiring an open surgery for repair.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient is participating in another device or drug study.
  • Patient exhibits clinical symptoms indicating infected hernia site.
  • Patient currently has a clean contaminated or contaminated site.
  • Patient has a life expectancy less than 2 years at the time of enrollment.
  • Anything in the opinion of the Investigator that would preclude the use of the Ventrio Hernia Patch, or preclude the subject from completing the follow-up requirements.
