Hernia surgery registry for adults after groin hernia repair
This is a registry that collects health information from adults who have surgery for an inguinal or femoral groin hernia, whether planned or urgent, and whether it’s a first-time or recurrent hernia. It helps doctors better understand hernia care and outcomes for patients over time.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07787871Recruiting

This study tests a minimally invasive (small incision) surgery to repair a groin hernia. The goal is to see if the approach is effective and helps you recover quickly.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07755696Recruiting
Robotic repair for two hernias at once
This study tests the use of a robotic device to fix two hernias at once—one in the groin and one near the belly button. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who need both hernias repaired.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07618884Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgical repair for inguinal hernia
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06660550Recruiting
Needlescopic vs traditional laparoscopic hernia repair in children
This trial compares a newer, smaller-scope surgery (needlescopic) with the standard laparoscopic method for fixing inguinal hernias in kids. It aims to see if the needlescopic approach is safer or has better recovery.
SohagAges Up to 18 years - NCT07608653Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for recurrent groin hernias
This trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgical technique to repair inguinal hernias that have returned after previous surgery. The goal is to evaluate how well this approach works and what outcomes patients experience.
SohagAges Any age - NCT07604272RecruitingPhase 1
Sex Hormones to Shrink Inguinal Hernias in Older Men
This study tests whether hormone treatment can help shrink inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin) without surgery. Men 50 and older with a confirmed hernia may qualify to see if this approach works and is safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT07544238Recruiting
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Ventral Hernia Repair
This study follows patients who undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery to repair ventral hernias (bulges in the abdominal wall). Researchers track outcomes to understand how well these less-invasive approaches work compared to traditional open surgery.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07511764Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for children's hernia surgery
This trial compares a laryngeal mask airway with a breathing tube in children having laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see which method works better.

Hernia surgery study on gas timing and blood changes
This study looks at how long the gas used during laparoscopic hernia surgery affects bicarbonate levels in the blood. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your body's chemistry during this type of hernia repair.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06786702Recruiting
Study on preserving the round ligament in hernia repair for women
This trial looks at whether keeping the round ligament (a ligament in the groin area) during hernia surgery leads to better outcomes for women. If you are a woman between 18 and 70 with a groin hernia and are having a specific type of laparoscopic surgery (TAPP), you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BaşakşehirAges 18–70 - NCT07461558Recruiting
Watchful waiting vs fixing a hidden hernia found during surgery
This study compares two approaches for people who have a hidden hernia on the opposite side during groin hernia repair. One option is to watch and wait, and the other is to fix it right away.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07328698Recruiting
Ozonated oil dressing after hernia surgery pilot
This study tests whether a special oil dressing (ozonated oil) can help heal the surgical wound better after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares the oil dressing to a standard dressing to see if it reduces pain, infection, or other complications.
Niğde, Niğde ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT07316517Recruiting
Robot-assisted hernia repair with Versius system
This study tests whether a robot-assisted device called Versius can be used safely and effectively for inguinal hernia repair surgery. If you are already scheduled for minimally invasive hernia repair, you may be able to join.
MilanAges 22 years+ - NCT06595628Recruiting
Comparing two hernia repair methods in men
This trial compares two ways to repair an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). The goal is to see which technique works better and has fewer problems.

Female Hernia Repair: Preserving vs Removing a Ligament
If you have an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin area), this trial compares two ways to do laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair: keeping the round ligament of the uterus versus removing it. The study will help doctors learn which way may lead to better outcomes for women like you.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07264699Recruiting
Guided nerve block for hernia repair pain control
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
