Sponsor's own description
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if one of two surgical techniques works better for treating paraumbilical hernias in adult men and women between 18 and 65 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does one technique lead to fewer complications after surgery, such as infection or fluid buildup (seroma)? Does one technique result in less pain or a shorter operating time? Researchers will compare the ETEP repair group to the SCOLA repair group to see if one method leads to better outcomes for patients. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either the ETEP or SCOLA surgical repair. Have their surgery and recovery tracked by the research team. Attend follow-up visits for up to six months to check for any complications.
