New hernia repair technique shows promise in 150-Patient trial
NCT ID NCT06884826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a surgical technique called Desarda for repairing complicated inguinal (groin) hernias in 150 patients aged 14 and older. The approach uses the patient's own tissue to strengthen the weak spot, avoiding the need for synthetic mesh. Researchers tracked complications like pain, infection, and hernia recurrence after surgery.
