Laparoscopic Inguinal and Femoral heRniA rePaIr Using Pre-shapeD 4DMESH® (4DLap)
Inguinal HerniaFemoral HerniaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the 4DMESH® used in (robot-assisted) laparoscopic inguinal and femoral hernia repair. The goal of the study will be achieved by assessing the prevalence of recurrences, pain, quality-of-life (QoL), return to daily activities and work and groin symptoms, and by reporting of peri- and postoperative complications in a prospectively maintained database.
Flemish Inguinal and Femoral Hernia Prospective Registry
Inguinal HerniaProspective registry. The purpose of this clinical trial will be to measure surgical outcome parameters (e.g. recurrence, chronic pain and other quality indicators) after inguinal hernia repair using Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in the short- and long-term.
Factors Influencing the Results of Treatment in Patients With Hernias of Various Localizations
Inguinal HerniaFemoral Hernia5 moreThe study attempts to quantify the relative risks for acute postoperative pain, complications rate, chronic postoperative pain (CPIP) and recurrence rate after different methods of repair of groin, umbilical and incisional hernia depending on surgical technique, mesh type and fixation suture material. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Kalinigrad Hernia Registry (KHR).
A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance and Safety of LiquiBand FIX8® Versus AbsorbaTack™...
HerniaInguinal Hernia2 moreThis is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of 284 subjects (142 in each group). Patients will be blinded to the fixation method used. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the LiquiBand FIX8® device to the tack-based control device (AbsorbaTack™) for laparoscopic groin hernia (inguinal or femoral) repair. The primary outcome measure is an improvement in pain score measured by VAS at 6 months. Secondary outcomes include the ability to affix hernia mesh, the ability to approximate the peritoneum, recurrence rate, and quality of life (Carolina Comfort Scale).
Study of Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
HerniaInguinal13 moreAlthough mesh fixation has been associated to an increased incidence of nerve injury and involves increased operative costs, many surgeons feel that fixation is necessary to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies performed with and without mesh fixation at our institution.
Fibrin Glue Versus Tacked Fixation in Groin Hernia Repair (TAPP)
Inguinal HerniaFemoral HerniaIn this study the researchers want to compare fibrin glue versus tacked fixation in fixation of the mesh in laparoscopic groin hernia repair. The primary endpoints are early pain in the first 3 days postoperative days. Moreover, the researchers investigate general well-being, fatigue, seroma, haematoma, postoperative nausea and vomiting. Thirdly, they are investigating chronic pain and clinical recurrence.
Dexamethasone Versus Placebo in Optimizing the Postoperative Period After Laparoscopic Inguinal...
Inguinal HerniaFemoral HerniaDoes corticosteroid (dexamethasone) have an effect on the postoperative period after laparoscopic hernia repair, when it comes to pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and convalescence. This randomized, double-blinded study compares dexamethasone versus placebo. The patients are recommended one day of convalescence. The medicine or placebo is given before operation. The patients fill out questionnaire before operation and three hours after operation and in the following three days. The patients also register when they return to normal activities and work.
Chronic Pain After Groin Hernia Repair
HerniaInguinal2 moreIn the present study the investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between surgical methods and chronic pain in over 20 000 patients who underwent groin hernia repair in Sweden
Detailed Pain Pattern After Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Inguinal HerniaFemoral HerniaPain after laparoscopic groin hernia repair consist of different pain components (overall pain, shoulder pain, incisional pain and visceral pain). Thus it is important to find out which of these pain components that is most severe, so intervention can be targeted.
Mesh and Mesh Fixation in Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Surgery
HerniaInguinal10 moreThe study attempts to quantify the relative risks for recurrence depending on complex combinations of plausible risk factors, in particular mesh, mesh fixation, hernia size and hernia type. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
