Hernia | Device: PARIETEX™ Composite Ventral Patch |
Prospective, multicenter, multinational non-comparative study.
Primary Endpoint: Primary hernia recurrence* rate at 24 month follow-up. The evaluation of hernia recurrence will be performed during a physical examination and by ultrasonography.
Secondary Endpoints: Primary hernia recurrence* rate at 1, 6 and 12 month follow-up. The evaluation of hernia recurrence will be performed during a physical examination and confirmed by ultrasonography.
(*Recurrence is defined as a clinically manifested bulge or a protrusion exacerbated by a Valsalva maneuver.)
Safety Parameters:
Deep and superficial infection (A Surgical Site Infection (SSI) will be defined in the study according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria for diagnosis of SSI).
Pain / Chronic pain Other post-operative complications (complications related to visceral adhesions, Ileus, seroma, hematoma...) Analgesics consumption Risk factors (severity and treatment) Efficacy Parameters: Recurrence of primary ventral hernia Operative time Time of the mesh positioning Length of Hospital Stay Ease of use (Mesh handling and manipulability, comfort of use …) Return to daily activities/ work Patient satisfaction Patient comfort (Carolina's™ Comfort scale (CCS) - QoL questionnaire)
Visit Schedule:
Baseline visit (Preoperative) & Operative/Discharge visit

- Primary Hernia Recurrence Rate at 24 Month Follow-up. [ Time Frame: 24 month follow-up ]The number of participants with hernia recurrence at 24 months, assessed during a physical examination and by ultrasonography.
- Recurrence Rate at 1, 6 and 12 Month Follow-up [ Time Frame: 1, 6 and 12 month follow-up. ]The number of participants with hernia recurrence at 1 month, 6 month and 12 month follow-up visit.
- Pain Score at Baseline, Discharge, Day10, 1 Month, 6 Months, 12 Months & 24 Months [ Time Frame: Various (Baseline, Discharge, Day10, 1 Month, 6 Months, 12 Months & 24 Months) ]Pain evaluation as determined by a 10-point pain intensity numerical rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Scores reported at Baseline, Discharge, Day10, 1 Month, 6 Months, 12 Months & 24 Months
- Summary of Risk Factors at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Summary of Risk factors at Baseline. Risk factors include: Smoker, Obesity, Diabetes T1 & T2, Cancer, Cardiovascular disease, Hypertension, COPD, Chronic desease requiring analgesic or corticoid consumption
- Mesh Handling Ease of Use During Surgery [ Time Frame: Per- operative ]Ease of use (mesh handling and comfort of use). Surgeons were asked if they were satisfied or completely satisfied, unsatisfied or completely dissatisfied
- Other Relevant Data: Operative Time [ Time Frame: Per- operative ]Operative time during surgery for all patient receiving PCO ventral patch
- Other Relevant Data: Time of Mesh Positioning [ Time Frame: Per- operative ]The time of the mesh positioning during surgery
