NCT ID NCT07401082
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 discomfort and best recovery.

What this could lead to
If glue works best, it could mean less pain and faster recovery for hernia patients, with fewer mesh-related discomforts.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 75 people. Results may not apply to everyone, and glue might not hold as well as stitches or tacks over time.
