Mesh fixation vs. no fixation for laparoscopic hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: one where the mesh is stitched in place, and one where it is left without stitches. The goal is to see which method works better for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a straightforward inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin area).
- You do not have heart problems or a weakened immune system that would make laparoscopy risky.
- You are able to come back for follow-up visits after surgery.

This trial compares three ways to secure mesh during groin hernia surgery to see which causes the least pain. You might join if you need hernia repair and are generally healthy.
This study compares two ways to fix a mesh during groin hernia surgery: 3D patch with one stitch versus no stitches at all. It aims to see which method leads to less long-term pain and fewer hernias coming back. If you have a first-time, moderately large groin hernia, you may qualify.
This trial compares two ways to repair an inguinal hernia without using mesh. It may be an option if you are a man over 18 who needs a straightforward hernia repair.
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.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery to fix a ventral hernia (a bulge in the belly wall) using a mesh placed from inside the abdomen. It may mean smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
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.
