Glue vs. stitches vs. tacks: which hernia fix hurts less?
NCT ID NCT07401082
Summary
This study compared three ways to secure the surgical mesh used in common groin hernia repair surgery. Researchers wanted to know if using surgical glue, stitches, or small metal tacks to hold the mesh in place resulted in less pain and a better quality of life after surgery. They randomly assigned 75 adults having the same keyhole hernia operation to one of the three methods and tracked their pain and comfort for six months.
