Active clinical trials for "Hernia, Inguinal"

The purpose of this study is to determine if the surgical technique for creation of extraperitoneal space during laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair (telescopic dissection or balloon dissection) has an impact on operative times, early postoperative pain scores, surgical complications and rate of hernia recurrence following laparoscopic TEP inguinal hernia repair.

The best approach for simultaneous repair of bilateral inguinal hernia is controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes after laparoscopic versus open mesh repair of bilateral primary inguinal hernia

patients underwent inguinal hernia repair; Group A patients received Subarachnoid anesthesia; Group B Patients underwent surgery with local anesthesia (Mepivacaine 2%) performed by the surgeon; Pain assessment was performed using a 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Intraoperative pain was assessed every 10 minutes,

Tension-less mesh repair is the most common procedure for inguinal hernia. Conventional heavy weight polypropylene meshes have been reported to stimulate inflammatory reaction and this is responsible for mesh shrinkage and postoperative chronic groin pain. Moreover, the fixation of the mesh with sutures is a tedious procedure and accounts for the majority of the operating time. A self gripping semi-absorbable mesh has been developed for anterior tension free inguinal hernia repair. It has the benefit of light weight property and does not require sutures for fixation. This study aims to compare the outcome of this self-gripping light weight mesh with the conventional heavy weight polypropylene mesh in inguinal hernia repair.

The purpose of this study was to compare the recurrence rate after TEP (laparoscopic method) and Lichtenstein (open method) repair on primary inguinal hernia.

This is a prospective randomized study to evaluate the recovery of a hernia inguinalis by a minimally invasive open preperitoneal surgery with polysoft mesh versus a classic open surgery according to modified Lichtenstein procedure with light weight mesh.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether chronic postoperative pain is less frequent and quality of life better when inguinal mesh is fixed by using tissue glue compared to conventional sutures in inguinal hernioplasty.

Aim is to evaluate outcomes of inguinal hernia repair incorporating the standard Lichtenstein (open) repair using Biodesign IHM in a double blind (physician evaluator and patient will be blinded), randomized, prospective comparative study with polypropylene mesh. Primary outcome is recurrence at 1 year. Hernia recurrence will be confirmed via ultrasound or CT scan.

The purpose of this study was to compare between laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia in recurrent inguinal hernia.

Evaluating the outcomes of patients undergoing open anterior inguinal hernioplasty comparing two different techniques: Lichtenstein/plug and mesh and ProFlor. The outcomes of these two groups of patients, respectively the Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair with static flat mesh and the defect obliteration with 3D dynamic scaffold Proflor, are compared in respect to defined variables along stages: intraoperative, early and long term postoperative.
