INGUINAL HERNIA

This study tested a surgical technique called Desarda for repairing complicated inguinal (groin) hernias in 150 patients aged 14 and older. The approach uses the patient's own tissue to strengthen the weak spot, avoiding the need for synthetic mesh. Researchers tracked complicati…

This study compared two surgical techniques for fixing inguinal hernias: Desarda's and Lichtenstein's. It involved 200 patients with uncomplicated hernias. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer complications like pain or swelling, and which allows a quicker return to no…

This completed trial tested a new mesh design for open inguinal hernia repair in 100 men with primary inguinal hernia. The new mesh is cut to fit the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and covered with a sheath to avoid nerve contact. The main goal was to see if it reduces hern…

This study compared two types of surgical mesh used to repair inguinal hernias in 412 men. One mesh was heavy-weight (90 g/m²) and the other was light-weight (28 g/m²). The goal was to see if the lighter mesh caused less pain and improved quality of life after surgery. Patients w…

This study compared using 3 points versus 1 point to fix a lightweight mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair (TAPP) in 351 adults with a first-time inguinal hernia. The goal was to see which method leads to less pain, fewer complications like seroma or infection, and lower recur…

This study looked at 168 men having hernia surgery to see if using staples or stitches to hold the mesh in place causes less pain afterward. Pain was measured using a standard scale. The goal is to find which method helps patients feel better sooner.

This study tested three ways to secure mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair: surgical glue, stitches, or metal tacks. 75 adults were randomly assigned to one method. Researchers measured pain, quality of life, and surgery time. The goal is to find which method causes the least …

This study tested three ways to manage pain during inguinal hernia repair: local anesthetic injection, quadratus lumborum block (QLB), and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. 90 adults having surgery under general anesthesia took part. Researchers measured recovery quality a…

This study looked at how the position of a patient's arms during spinal anesthesia affects pressure inside the eye. Sixty adults having hernia repair were randomly placed with arms at their sides or hands on their chest. Eye pressure was measured before and after anesthesia to se…

This study looked at how different types of anesthesia affect inflammation during inguinal hernia repair. Researchers measured specific blood markers in 43 adults who received either general or spinal anesthesia. The goal was to see which method might cause less inflammatory resp…

This completed pilot study looked at 21 obese patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Researchers used a special monitoring system to measure pressure inside the abdomen, lactic acid levels, and urine output during surgery. The goal was to find links between thes…
