Mesh holding methods for less pain after hernia surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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.
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.
