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 doing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: one where the mesh is stitched in place, and one where it is left without stitches. The goal is to see which method works better for patients.
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 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 is testing whether specially trained doctors who are not surgeons can safely perform groin hernia repair. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are between 18 and 60, you may be able to take part.
This study compares two ways to fix a mesh during groin hernia surgery: 3D patch with one stitch versus no stitches at all. It aims to see which method leads to less long-term pain and fewer hernias coming back. If you have a first-time, moderately large groin hernia, you may qualify.
