Active clinical trials for "Hernia"

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.

Inguinal hernias are one of the most common diseases in general surgery practice. In a multicenter study conducted in Germany, inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations. Until the last 20 years, after Lichtenstein described tension-free mesh hernia repair, this method was the gold standard in inguinal hernia surgery. This method was advantageous in terms of both less recurrence and less postoperative pain compared to tension methods. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic hernia surgery was first described by Dr. Ger in 1992. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is based on the principles of preperitoneal repair described by Stoppa in open surgery. Its advantages over laparoscopic surgery are; Less post-operative pain, rapid recovery, reduction in nerve damage and chronic pain, and reduced recurrence rate. However, the disadvantage is that the learning curve is longer and higher cost. Two commonly used laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgeries are Trans Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) methods. Although both are preperitoneal repair methods, less intraperitoneal organ damage, less intra-abdominal adhesion formation, and no need for peritoneal sheath repair are the advantages of the TEP method. For this reason, TEP method has been the preferred method today. Various methods have been tried in order not to change the location of the mesh placed in the TEP method. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia is one of the most debated issues. The most common methods for fixation are tacker, tissue adhesive, or suturing the mesh. However, fixing the mesh using a tacker can cause chronic pain. Tissue adhesives are not preferred because tissue adhesives have high costs and sometimes cause allergic reactions. The method in which the mesh is sewn to the pubic bone is avoided by surgeons because it prolongs the operation time. To avoid chronic pain after surgery, the idea was not to fix the mesh. The major drawback of this method is that the mesh may slip and cause recurrence.This study aimed to reveal the difference between the amount of migration and the amount of post-operative pain between detecting the mesh and not detecting it

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.

The primary aim of our study was to use spinal anesthesia for unilateral inguinal hernia surgery and lumbar erector spina block supported by local infiltration anesthesia in terms of operation time, intraoperative hemodynamic data, motor block onset time, block termination time, analgesic need, discharge time, patient satisfaction, surgeon satisfaction. is to compare. Its second purpose is to observe nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, headache, chills, bleeding, wound infection.

The purpose of this study is to collect additional data on safety and performance of Phasix™ Mesh in subjects requiring Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) Grade 3 midline hernia repair.

The objective of this study is to collect additional data on safety, performance and effectiveness of Phasix™ ST in subjects receiving laparoscopic ventral or incisional hernia repair at high risk for surgical site occurrence (SSO).

This study is carried out to determine if laparoscopic inguinal TEP repair of the hernia using a mesh carried out with only 1 port (hole) results in the reduction of post- operative pain and use of painkillers, shorter hospital stay and lesser complications than that carried out using conventional 3 ports.

This study will compare the safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of a permanent synthetic mesh versus a biologic prosthesis for the repair of ventral hernias in the setting of clean-contaminated (Class 2) or contaminated (Class 3) surgical procedures. The findings of this study will have a major impact on the field of hernia surgery as it will provide objective guide to mesh selection, optimize surgical approaches for complex ventral hernia repair, and ultimately significantly improve patient outcomes.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different doses of intrathecal morphine (0.1 mg and 0.4 mg) combined with 7.5 mg of heavy bupivacaine on postoperative block regression times, postoperative analgesia and the severity of side effects, for inguinal hernia repairs.
