INGUINAL HERNIA

This study tested a new mesh design for open inguinal hernia repair in 100 men. The new method uses a smaller mesh placed under a protective layer to avoid nerve contact, aiming to reduce chronic pain and hernia recurrence. Results suggest fewer complications and better outcomes …

This study looked at 351 adults with inguinal hernia who had keyhole surgery (TAPP). Doctors compared using 3 points versus 1 point to fix the mesh inside. The goal was to see which method caused less pain, fewer complications like fluid buildup or infection, and lower chance of …

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 on a 0-10 scale right after surgery. The goal is to find which method helps patients feel better sooner.

This study looked at 412 men having groin hernia repair to see if a lighter mesh causes less pain and better quality of life than a heavier one. Surgeons were assigned to use one type of mesh, and patients were randomly assigned to a surgeon. The main goal was to measure pain aft…

This study tested three ways to manage pain before inguinal hernia surgery: two types of nerve blocks (QLB and TAP) and local anesthetic injection. The goal was to see which method helps patients recover better and feel less pain after surgery. 90 adults having hernia repair unde…

This study tested three methods of securing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair: surgical glue, stitches, or metal tacks. 75 adults with a first-time inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to one method. Researchers measured pain, quality of life, and mesh sensation up to 6 mo…

This study looked at how different types of anesthesia (general vs. spinal) affect the body's inflammatory response during inguinal hernia repair. Researchers measured certain blood markers in 43 adults before, during, and after surgery. The goal was to understand which anesthesi…

This study looked at 21 obese patients having laparoscopic hernia repair. Doctors measured pressure inside the belly, lactic acid levels, and urine output during surgery. The goal was to see if these measurements could help predict or prevent complications. The study used a speci…

This study looked at how different arm positions during spinal anesthesia for open inguinal hernia repair affect eye pressure. 105 adults were randomly placed with arms at their sides, out to the sides, or crossed over their chest. Researchers measured eye pressure at several poi…
