Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

This study is designed to evaluate the post-operative complications and hernia recurrence following the use of OviTex in subjects with ventral or inguinal hernias. Up to 160 subjects will participate in the study from up to 20 investigator sites.

Self-fixed mesh and postoperative pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery, a randomized clinical trial

Subjects receive either CPL-01, positive control, or negative control after herniorrhaphy and are then followed.

Inguinal hernia surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures among general surgery cases. As with many open surgical methods, this repair is also performed laparoscopically. Among these closed methods, the most frequently applied method is laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP). In general, this surgery is performed under general anesthesia (GA) in many centers. However, in cases where general anesthesia is inconvenient, local or other anesthesia methods are preferred. It has been stated in many studies in the literature that this surgery can be performed with methods other than general anesthesia. In a study of 480 patients, one of which was Sinha et al., it was shown that this surgical procedure was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In a prospective randomized study by Dönmez et al., patients who underwent TEP under general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia were compared. It has been reported that TEP repair can be performed safely under SA and that SA is associated with less postoperative pain, better recovery, and better patient satisfaction than GA.2 In a retrospective study by Yıldırım et al. It has been shown that there is significantly less need for analgesics and better patient satisfaction. There are also many meta-analyses made on this subject in the literature. Compared with GA in these, SA was associated with a longer operative time, and postoperative pain and nausea and vomiting were less in SA. However, the risk of urinary retention in SA was significantly increased. It was observed that there was no significant difference in surgical complications such as seroma and wound infection. Despite all these studies, until now, there is no clear consensus on which anesthesia should be used. The aim of the study is to compare the results of spinal anesthesia with nerve block and general anesthesia in TEP repair.

The purpose of this study is to gather information on methocarbamol as a pain management treatment for ventral or inguinal hernia repair. Methocarbamol has been part of the pain management treatment for both inpatient and outpatient procedures at Prisma Health. This study will compare the outcomes of patients who receive methocarbamol, those who receive the standard opioid pain management treatment, and those who receive methocarbamol plus the standard opioid pain management treatment. Participants will be randomized into one of the study groups listed below. Primary ventral hernia repair or inguinal hernia repair: Group 1: standard opioid after surgery Group 2: methocarbamol after surgery Open or robotic ventral hernia repair outpatient: Group 1: standard opioid after surgery Group 2: standard opioid plus methocarbamol after surgery Open or robotic ventral hernia repair inpatient: Group 1: standard opioid at discharge Group 2: standard opioid plus methocarbamol at discharge A total of 120 participants will be included in the study. Participation will last for about 30 days after surgery.

This study is evaluating the management of chronic post-operative inguinal hernia pain and the impact of hernia mesh removal after previous minimally invasive inguinal hernia repairs. The study aims are to evaluate the change in chronic (>6 months), nociceptive, postoperative inguinal pain after mesh removal compared to no mesh removal in patients who have previously undergone minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair with pre-peritoneal mesh.

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a continuous infusion of low dose esmolol on intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, as well as on postoperative recovery and chronic pain

This study aims to visualize the implanted mesh in vivo by MRI in 20 patients at 1 month and 12 months post-operatively. Moreover, we want to evaluate the safety and efficiency of non-penetration mesh fixation techniques using pre-designed ENDOLAP 3D visible mesh placement versus mesh fixation using a synthetic LiquiBand Fix 8 glue for laparoscopic treatment of groin hernias. A total of 100 male and female patients will be entered in the trial in Maria Middelares Ghent, for which an inclusion period of 24 months is anticipated. Four surgeons of the department of surgery will screen all eligible consecutive patients for inclusion in the study. They will inform all patients about the surgery and the follow-up with MRI scan thereafter.

Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication after inguinal hernia repair with a reported incidence up 34%. It can be described as the inability to initiate urination or properly empty one's bladder following surgery. It is usually self-limited, but it requires the use of catheterization to empty the bladder in order to prevent further injury to the bladder or kidneys and to relief the discomfort of a full bladder. Tamsulosin is a medication that is commonly used in men with urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate. There is some evidence to suggest that it may also potentially be beneficial for preventing post-operative urinary retention. The purpose of this study is to determine if tamsulosin ("TAMSULOSIN Mepha Ret Depocaps 0.4 mg") is effective in preventing post-operative urinary retention following endoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair and its impact on hospital length of stay.

This prospective double-blind randomized study will aim at evaluating the short- and long-term postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with a combination of local anesthetic and dexmedetomidine in inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia
