Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

The investigators want to evaluate the effect of suturing the mesh versus using a self-adhesive mesh for Lichtenstein hernia repair. Effect parameters include chronic pain.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the appropriate dose of SKY0402 for the management of postoperative pain following inguinal hernia repair. This study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of SKY0402 compared with a 100 mg dose of bupivacaine HCl for the treatment of postoperative pain in subjects undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Study drug was administered by surgical wound infiltration at the end of the hernia repair procedure.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the CollaRx Bupivacaine implant is safe and effective in reducing the amount of narcotic pain medication needed to control pain during the first 24 hours after herniorrhaphy.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lichtenstein's hernioplasty using the Surgisis ES soft tissue graft, as a mesh, and to compare it with the traditional Lichtenstein procedure performed with polypropylene mesh.

Comparison of regional block, wound infiltration and caudal block for post operative pain management in participants undergoing inguinal herniotomy.

The placement of mesh is important in hernia surgery as it helps to reduce recurrence, yet the method of fixation of mesh may cause pain after surgery. In laparoscopic hernia repair, surgeon uses different methods to fix the mesh in large hernia defects or bilateral inguinal hernias. Progrip is a special mesh developed by manufacturer that it can be self-gripped to tissue, as a result no fixation is required after placement. There are few data about Progrip in laparoscopic hernia repair. In this randomized controlled trial we would like to compare the use of Progrip with the "conventional" mesh in laparoscopic hernia repair. Surgery is performed in the usual manner; prior to placement of mesh, surgeon will get the randomization result for that particular patient: Progrip and non-Progrip group. No fixation is required for Progrip group, while fixation with fibrin glue is needed for non-Progrip group. Intraoperative data (e.g. mesh deployment time, operative time, etc) will be collected. Patients will be assessed in clinic at 2-week, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year interval after surgery. Additional visits may be arranged if considered necessary. At follow up patient will be seen by surgeon first to review the wound condition and to look for any recurrence; while other post-operative data including total analgesic usage (number of tablets), return to normal activities (days), return to work (days), pain score etc will be assessed and recorded by a trained nurse who is blinded to the treatment that patient received. Any hernia recurrence will be recorded and treated accordingly. Primary aim of this study is to look for any difference of the 2 groups in terms of postoperative pain and quality of life scores.

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

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the progression of surgeon efficiency and proficiency of traditionally open or laparoscopic surgeons performing robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair throughout their learning curve.

This study is intends to compare mean postoperative pain scores for 48-hours in patients undergoing Inguinal hernioplasty with and without hernia sac ligation in Department of Surgery, Dow University of Health Sciences & Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi.Half of the patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty will have their indirect inguinal sacs ligated whereas other half will have non-ligation and inversion of sac.

comparison between two groups of participants suffering inguinal hernia each group 23 individual all underwent laparoscopic trans-abdominal inguinal hernia repair first group received mesh fixation the second underwent no fixation , results of follow up in the first year were compared together
