Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

Rebound pain is a newly defined phenomenon, observed within the first 24 hours after the operation. Open inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure that can be associated with pain of the either acute or chronic character. A peripheral nerve block of the ilioinguinal (IIN) and iliohypogastric (IHN) nerves is a relatively well-known method for postoperative pain management. However, rebound pain after IIN/IHN block resolution may reduce its overall benefit. The primary aim is to assess whether intravenous dexamethasone reduces postoperative opioid consumption and the incidence of rebound pain in patients undergoing unilateral hernia repair in adults.

To investigate the effect of tamsulosin on the development of post-operative urinary retention (PUR) after elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). This will be accomplished by administering a pre-operative dose of tamsulosin. The primary outcome is the rate of urinary retention necessitating straight catheterization or insertion of foley catheter prior to discharge.

This 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).

In patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery, postoperative pain management is frequently provided with systemic opioids use or neuraxial methods. Ultrasound-guided TFP block is the preferred method to reduce the use of opioids and systemic analgesics for postoperative pain management. TFP block provides anesthesia and analgesia in the inguinal region by blocking the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided TFP Block on postoperative pain scores in pediatric lower abdominal surgery.

Introduction: Inguinal hernioplasty is the standard treatment for inguinal hernia. Mesh fixation is used to keep mesh in place for which various mesh fixation techniques have been used in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, but their effectiveness has remained inconclusive. Aim of the work: Randomized comparative study comparing early and late outcome of different method of mesh fixation. Methods: In Zagazig University Hospitals, over the period from July 2016 to July 2018, patients with with oblique inguinal hernias undergoing Tans abdominal preperitoneal technique were randomized into 3 groups: Group A; mesh non fixation . Group B; tacker mesh fixation Group C: Cyanoacrylic tissue glues (Histoacryl) mesh fixation Clinical effects were assessed by the following variables: intraoperative data, postoperative outcome as regard recurrence rate, postoperative complications, analgesic consumption, operation time, hospital stay, and patient costs. Follow up was 18 months.

This study compares the transversalis fascia plane block with the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block in children undergoing hernia repair surgery. Half of participants will receive the transversalis fascia plane block, while the other will receive the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block.

The aim of the present prospective controlled study is to compare the trunk muscle strength, quality of life and neuropathic pain component after Lichtenstein and Kugel procedures.

Acute pain is the result of activating nociceptive pathways in both the peripheral and central nervous system. The origin of most acute pain from surgical stimulation is the mechanical trauma of the local tissue and the subsequent acute inflammatory response. No studies have investigated the combined use of anti-inflammatory analgesics with spinal anaesthesia/analgesia for pre, intra and postoperative multimodal pain protection in patients undergoing day-case IHR. The aim of the investigators study is therefore to assess the efficacy of preoperative combined administration of etoricoxib and standard spinal anaesthesia in the reduction of postoperative pain following IHR.

This study is conducted to determine whether morphine added to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided (USG) transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has beneficial effects than bupivacaine alone in providing postoperative analgesia for inguinal hernia surgery.

Purpose: Tension-free hernia repair is the gold standard for groin hernia repair. However, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical treatment for incarcerated groin hernia in elderly populations, The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of mesh repair and suture repair in the treatment of incarcerated groin hernia in elderly patients. Methods: Patients ≥65 years who underwent urgent surgical groin hernia repair from January 2015 to June 2022 will be included. Patient demographic data and short-term and long-term postoperative outcomes will be retrospectively analyzed.
