Study on preserving the round ligament in hernia repair for women
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether keeping the round ligament (a ligament in the groin area) during hernia surgery leads to better outcomes for women. If you are a woman between 18 and 70 with a groin hernia and are having a specific type of laparoscopic surgery (TAPP), you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a hernia in the groin area (inguinal, femoral, or obturator).
- You are scheduled for a type of keyhole surgery called TAPP (done through small cuts in the belly).
- You are able to have general anesthesia (you are put completely to sleep for surgery).
- You are willing to come back for regular follow-up visits after surgery.
- You do not have a hernia that is stuck or strangled (emergency situation).

This study looks at how long the gas used during laparoscopic hernia surgery affects bicarbonate levels in the blood. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your body's chemistry during this type of hernia repair.
If you have an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin area), this trial compares two ways to do laparoscopic (keyhole) hernia repair: keeping the round ligament of the uterus versus removing it. The study will help doctors learn which way may lead to better outcomes for women like you.
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole surgery for hernias in the groin: the usual laparoscopic approach versus a robot-assisted approach. It may help show which method is safer or more effective for people with hernias on both sides.
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.
This trial tests a newer surgical technique called TREPP to repair inguinal hernias (bulges in the groin area). The approach may reduce pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
This is a registry that collects health information from adults who have surgery for an inguinal or femoral groin hernia, whether planned or urgent, and whether it’s a first-time or recurrent hernia. It helps doctors better understand hernia care and outcomes for patients over time.
