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
Prophylactic Antibiotic Treatment for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Mesh Repair: Necessary or Not?...
HerniaInguinalThe purpose of this study is to find out whether it is necessary to prophylactically treat patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs with antibiotics. Our hypothesis is that it is not necessary to pretreat patients with antibiotics if the operation is minimally invasive with a mesh placed at the defect.
Predictability of the Ability to Perform an Emergency Stop After Surgery for Inguinal Hernia
Inguinal HerniaSeveral studies exist on patient performance in drive simulators especially around and after surgery. Recommendations concerning the ability to drive after inguinal hernia are scarce and so far do not offer conclusive results. Aim of the study is to analyse reaction time and foot transfer time (together brake response time) and brake force in a brake simulator before and after scheduled inguinal hernia surgery (Liechtenstein procedure).
Lap TAP Block for Laparoscopic TEP Inguinal Hernia Repair: a Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomized,...
Laparoscopic TAP Block in TEP Inguinal Hernia Repair.A newly developed technique of TAP block solely performed by surgeons will be used for postoperative pain relief following laparoscopic total extra peritoneal (TEP) Inguinal hernia repair. Our alternative hypothesis is that laparoscopic-assisted TAP block is better than the periportal wound infiltration in controlling the postoperative pain.
Post-operative Pain Relief for Paediatric Inguinal-Scrotal Surgery
HerniaInguinalTwo methods of pain control in children undergoing surgery on the groin and scrotum are caudal injection (a form of epidural) with local anaesthetic, and a regional nerve block (an injection of local anaesthetic around the nerves supplying the area). A pilot study at our hospital showed a significant decrease in post-operative pain and nausea and vomiting in these two methods when compared to intravenous morphine and local anaesthetic to the wound. One potential side effect from caudal injections is temporarily decreased motor power in the legs due to the local anaesthetic - it is thought that this might be overcome using a more dilute solution of local anaesthetic along with clonidine. This study is to demonstrate that this method is as effective as the use of a regional nerve block.
Effect of Ultra-Sound Guided Pre-emptive Nerve Block on Post-operative Pain Following Open Inguinal...
Inguinal HerniaA hernia occurs when an organ 'like intestines' or fatty tissue protrude through a weak point in muscle or connective tissue and one of the most common types of hernia is inguinal. Inguinal hernia defined as a bulge in the inguinal region or scrotum, may be accompanied by dull or burning pain, which worsens by exercise or cough. There are 2 types of inguinal hernia: direct and indirect. Direct inguinal hernia occurs because of a defect or weakness in the transversalis fascia area of the Hesselbach triangle. On the other hand, the indirect inguinal hernia which is the most common inguinal hernia follows the tract of inguinal canal and result from a persistent processus vaginalis. Immediate pain after inguinal herniorrhaphy delays the ambulation which leads to delay in the hospital discharge. Besides that, is the chronic pain that affect 50% of patients which is an important issue that needs to be dealt with. Our aim of this study, is to compare between postoperative period in the patients who received US guided nerve block and in patients who received infiltration only before open inguinal hernia repair, and to show that pre-emptive local anaesthesia will result in better pain control, less postoperative complication, earlier mobilisation, earlier recovery and less analgesia consumption by patients.
A Trial of HR18034 in Inguinal Hernia Repair
Inguinal Hernia RepairPhase I, randomized, double-blind, comparator-controlled study to assess the safety, PK, and efficacy of single postsurgical application of HR18034 compared with Naropin®
The Plastic Covering Method for Self-gripping Mesh Placement in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair...
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia RepairInguinal hernia is one of the most-common surgical conditions. Incidence is about 27% in males and 3% in females.The treatment of this condition is inguinal hernia repair operation which can be approached with several techniques; open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair and robotic hernia repair. The current guidelines recommend the hernia repair operation with mesh placement either Lichtenstenstein operation or laparoscopic technique; transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal technique (TEP). In the laparoscopic approach, one of the complications that can occur is post-operative pain from the mesh fixator. So the self-gripping mesh becomes another option to decrease this incidence.However the adhesive property of the mesh is still challenging for many surgeons. Several techniques of self-gripping mesh placement were introduced. One of the popular techniques is bilateral vertical folding of self-gripping mesh which still causes some adhesive problems when introduced to the target area. This research's aim is to present a new technique of the self-gripping mesh placement which is more effective, more convenient, and decreases the time taken to place the mesh at the surgery site.
Evaluating Pain Outcomes of Caudal vs Ilioinguinal Nerve Block in Children Undergoing Hernia Repair...
HerniaInguinal2 moreSurgical intervention to treat a inguinal hernia is a very common pediatric surgical procedure, often performed using an inguinal incision. Children who undergo hernia repair can suffer from a significant degree of discomfort postoperatively. The investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of an ultrasound guided caudal-epidural (CE) block to an US guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IIG/IHG) nerve block in achieving post operative analgesia following a hernia repair. It is hypothesized that US guided IIG/IHG nerve block leads to more effective pain control post-operatively while in hospital relative to an US guided CE block for inguinal hernia surgery.
The Effect of Different Dose of Ketamine With Low Dose Rocuronium in Children
Inguinal HerniaRocuronium is suitable for rapid induction within 60-90 seconds and its effect last 24-40 minute after single bolus injection. For outpatient surgery with short operation time, low dose rocuronium is frequently used for rapid recovery at the expense of compromised intubating condition. For better intubating condition, ketamine can be used. However, appropriate dose of ketamine with low dose rocuronium is not established yet. This study, 3 different doses of ketamine with low dose rocuronium will be compared for appropriate intubating condition.
