Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

The investigation is aimed at specifically demonstrating the ingrowth of newly formed vascular elements within ProFlor, a 3D dynamic responsive implant for inguinal hernia repair

LIFE-IN. Quality of life after operation for hernias are not well investigated and lack a good and easy-to-understand-tool to measure it. Carolina Comfort Scale (CCS) is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, designed by an American group, to monitor quality of life in patients undergoing operation for hernias. The investigators wish to test this questionnaire against Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for core-hernia symptoms, to see if the CCS is a good way to monitor the changes in quality of life and other well-known core-symptoms before and after herniotomies.

Evaluation of long-term results for chronic pain and impairment of daily activities after endoscopic total extraperitoneal repair of recurrent inguinal hernia with inguinal pain questionnaire (IPQ).

The material cost for robotic groin hernia repair is higher than for conventional laparoscopic surgery. In this study, this amount will be quantified and possible differences in early postoperative course, hospital stay and readmission rate that could influence the cost/benefit ratio for robotic groin hernia surgery will be analyzed.

Laparoscopic TAPP (transabdominal preperitoneal) hernia repair presents a minimally invasive surgical procedure, which tends to be a gold standard in a wide range of inguinal hernia operations. Postoperative neuralgia is a troublesome complication following TAPP, which occurs in 0.2-7% of patients. The most common cause of nerve injury is an inappropriate use of electrocoagulation or dangerous tissue dissection during TAPP. However, the association between electrocoagulation employment during TAPP and postoperative neuralgia has not been investigated properly until now. The aim of the project is to compare postoperative pain (postoperative neuralgia) in patients undergoing TAPP inguinal hernia repair with/without the use of electrocoagulation.

The theory of "undissected Spermatic cord (US)" only transected the hernia ring ends in the abdominal cavity, the hernia ring, hernia sac and spermatic cord will not be dissected. Its significance lies in that inguinal hernia repair can get rid of the "entanglement" of hernia sac and spermatic cord and fundamentally change the treatment mode of hernia ring and hernia sac.

Influence of inguinal hernia repair on sperm autoimmunity using MAR test

This study analyse the need for neuromuscular blockade in consecutive routine laparoscopic procedures without standard use of neuromuscular blockade in an ambulatory laparoscopic surgery setting and analyse specific reasons for using neuromuscular blockade in individual patients. Furthermore, the study report the analgesic use in postoperative care unit and the discharge rate.

The aim of this study is to compare the geriatric patients with the non-geriatrics undergoing outpatient unilateral herniorrhapy in terms of local anesthesia, sedation, recovery and early morbidity.

Mesh fixation is used to prevent recurrence in TEP to the potential cost of pain. The aim was to evaluate the impact of permanent fixation (PF) versus non-permanent fixation (N-PF) of mesh in TEP repair for a primary inguinal hernia regarding chronic pain. A cohort of patients were studied for pain interfering with sexual activety. The hyopthesis is that fixation causes pain.
