New surgery approach for female groin hernias
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at an open and endoscopic (camera-assisted) surgical technique to repair a first-time groin hernia in women. It aims to see whether this approach is safe and effective compared with usual care for the right patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a first-time (primary) inguinal hernia in the groin area
- Your surgery is planned (not an emergency)
- Your hernia has not come back after a previous repair
- You do not have groin pain without a hernia seen or diagnosed
- You are not considered extremely frail or very high risk for surgery (ASA 4 or higher)

This trial compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
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.
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.
This study compares two surgical methods — TAPP (a laparoscopic, or keyhole, surgery) and open repair — to fix a hernia in the groin that has come back after a previous surgery. The goal is to see which technique works better for this type of repeat hernia.
This trial looks at emergency surgeries for groin or belly hernias to see how well they work. It might help you if you need urgent hernia surgery.
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole surgery for hernias in the groin: the usual laparoscopic approach versus a robot-assisted approach. It may help show which method is safer or more effective for people with hernias on both sides.
