Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

Ventral hernias are a common disease and one half of all individuals are born with or will acquire a ventral hernia in their lifetime. Repair of ventral hernias may be associated with significant morbidity, including surgical site infection, hernia recurrence and reoperation. Minimally invasive ventral hernia repair decreases rates of surgical site infection and hospital length of stay, without affecting recurrence, however the laparoscopic approach to ventral hernia repair accounts for only about 1/3 of all total hernia repairs performed in the US. Recent large database studies have suggested that robotic ventral hernia repair may be associated with decreased hospital length of stay. However, this study is affected by common biases of database studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the true impact of robotics for ventral hernia repair.

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.

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.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of myofascial release technique on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy with unilateral arm involvement and compare this with exercise. The individuals included in the study will be randomized into two groups, 17 control and 17 study groups. Sessions will be 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy and exercise program will be applied to the control group, conventional physiotherapy and myofascial release technique will be applied in the intervention group. Conventional physiotherapy methods; It will include Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), hotpack agents. Exercise program; extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left rotation exercises, chin-tuck, right and left upper trapezius muscle group stretching, neck extensor muscle group isometric strengthening exercises. Myofascial release will be applied to the fingers, wrist flexor-extensor muscle groups, elbow flexor-extensor muscle groups, pectoral muscles and rotator cuff muscle groups. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometric measurements, algometer, myometer, Neck Disability Scale, "Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand" Questionnaire (DASH).

This study was conducted to assess the postoperative painscores in patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair between two groups receiving either U/S guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerves block with Ropivacaine or wound infiltration with Ropivacaine.The safety of two analgesic interventions(ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerves blocks and wound infiltration) was measured alongwith comparison of opioid use between the two groups over 24 hours postoperatively was made. Patient satisfaction between the two groups was also assessed by the Likert scale.

Short-term follow up after surgery of para-esophageal hernia comparing two different types of fundoplication

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.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pulse magnetic field therapy on pain, functional status, and quality of life in patients with chronic radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation.

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).
