Mesh fixation comparison in laparoscopic hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an inguinal hernia that is not complicated.
- You are not a candidate for keyhole surgery due to heart problems or a weakened immune system.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits.

This study compares three ways of holding the mesh in place during hernia surgery to see which causes the least pain and best outcomes. If you're having this surgery, joining could help improve recovery and comfort.
This trial tests a new 3D mesh (Optomesh 3D) for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia using laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective the mesh is without using extra fixation. This could mean a simpler procedure and possibly less pain after surgery.
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 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 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 types of mesh used during laparoscopic surgery to fix an inguinal hernia on one side while also repairing a small, symptom-free hernia on the other side. The goal is to see if one mesh causes less long-term pain than the other.
