First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new technique for placing self-gripping mesh during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Instead of folding the mesh directly, surgeons wrap it in a plastic sheath to make insertion smoother and reduce the risk of the mesh sticking prematurely. The study compares this method to standard placement, measuring how long it takes and how much pain patients feel afterward.
