Ultrasound Assessment of Ventral Hernia Defects
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound Acoustic Radiation Forced Impulse Shear Wave Velocity for Ventral Incisional Hernia. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Quantitative radiographic imaging holds promise as a novel and innovative strategy to assess ventral hernia patients. Assessing abdominal wall changes surrounding ventral hernia using shear wave velocity values measured with ultrasound will identify features of the abdominal wall that differ between healthy volunteers and subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair. Through the use of ultrasound including shear wave velocity measurements, the abdominal wall of 25 subjects scheduled to have ventral hernia repair will be compared to those of 35 healthy volunteers. The ultrasound measurements will elucidate if ventral hernia affects abdominal wall elasticity and effect surgical outcomes.
