Comparing two hernia repair methods in men
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older.
- You have a non-complicated inguinal hernia (a hernia that is not inflamed, blocked, or causing strangulation).
- You have not had this hernia repaired before (it's not a recurrent hernia).
- You have not had any previous surgery in the groin area.
- You are willing to provide written consent to participate.
- Your surgeon confirms during the operation that the tissue (external oblique aponeurosis) is strong enough.

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 of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
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 surgical techniques for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). Both methods aim to fix the hernia with a mesh, but the Desarda technique uses a piece of your own abdominal muscle, while the Lichtenstein technique uses a synthetic mesh. The study will see which approach leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a type of back hernia that happens after a past surgery or recurred. It aims to see which method helps better for people with incisional or recurrent lumbar hernias.
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.
