INGUINAL HERNIA

This study compared two surgical methods for fixing a common type of groin hernia in 200 adults. The goal was to see which technique leads to fewer complications like pain or swelling, and which helps patients return to normal activities sooner. Both methods are standard, and the…

This study tested a new way of placing a single, lightweight mesh during open inguinal hernia repair in 100 men. The goal was to see if this method reduces long-term pain and hernia recurrence compared to standard techniques. The approach covers all weak spots in the groin area a…

This study tested three ways to secure a mesh during keyhole hernia repair: surgical glue, stitches, or metal tacks. 75 adults with a new inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to one method. Researchers measured pain, quality of life, and mesh sensation for 6 months after surger…

This study looked at 351 adults with inguinal hernia who had keyhole surgery (TAPP). Doctors compared using 3 stitches versus 1 stitch to hold the mesh in place. The goal was to see which method caused less pain, fewer fluid collections (seroma), and fewer hernia comebacks over a…

This study tested whether a lighter mesh causes less pain after groin hernia surgery than a heavier one. Over 400 men with a first-time hernia were randomly assigned to receive either a heavy or light mesh. The main goal was to see which group had less pain and better quality of …

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

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. The goal was to find which method helps patients feel better sooner. Results will help surgeons choose the best option for fixing hernias.

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

This study looked at 21 obese adults having laparoscopic hernia repair. Doctors measured belly pressure, lactic acid, and urine output during surgery to see if these numbers relate to hernia recurrence. The goal was to find better ways to monitor and prevent hernias from coming b…

This study looked at how two types of anesthesia—general and spinal—affect inflammation during inguinal hernia repair. Researchers measured certain inflammatory markers in the blood of 43 adults before, during, and after surgery. The goal was to understand which anesthesia method…
