Desarda vs Lichtenstein hernia repair comparison
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 methods of attaching mesh during hernia surgery—staples versus sutures—to see which leads to better healing and fewer problems after surgery. You'd have a 50/50 chance of receiving either method.

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 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 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 study compares two ways of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
