Comparing two mesh fixes for double groin hernias
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of mesh repair for groin hernias on both sides. It aims to see which device works better with fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hernia on both sides of your groin (inguinal area).
- This is your first hernia repair on that side (not a hernia that came back).
- Your hernia is not stuck or trapped.
- You do not have an active infection or a weak immune system.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 34 or lower.

This study compares removing the pre-surgery mesh versus not removing it in people who have long-lasting groin pain after inguinal hernia repair. It may help doctors learn which approach best reduces ongoing pain.
This study compares two types of surgical mesh—one made from animal tissue and one synthetic—to see which causes less pain after laparoscopic hernia repair. You'd be eligible if you have a hernia on one side causing pain and another hernia on the opposite side that isn't causing symptoms, and you're willing to have both repaired in the same surgery.
This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a special mesh (3DMax MID) used in keyhole surgery to repair inguinal hernias. It is for adults having their first hernia repair and who are healthy enough for planned surgery.
This study tests a new mesh implant to fix pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop down into the vagina). It looks at how safe and well the implant works in women who need surgery for this condition.
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 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.
