Comparing one-sided vs both-sided groin hernia repair
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of fixing hernias when you have them on both sides: repairing both at once or repairing only the one causing symptoms. It aims to see which approach gives better recovery and fewer problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have hernias on both sides of your groin (inguinal hernias).
- At least one of the hernias is not causing any symptoms (no pain or discomfort).
- You are having surgery to fix both hernias at the same time (not an emergency).
- You have not had previous hernia surgery in the groin area.
- You are healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia.

This study compares two approaches for people who have a hidden hernia on the opposite side during groin hernia repair. One option is to watch and wait, and the other is to fix it right away.
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 studies how restricting or allowing activities after surgery for a one-sided inguinal hernia affects recovery and outcomes. It may help determine the safest activity plan while you heal.
This study tests the use of a robotic device to fix two hernias at once—one in the groin and one near the belly button. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who need both hernias repaired.
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 study tests a minimally invasive (small incision) surgery to repair a groin hernia. The goal is to see if the approach is effective and helps you recover quickly.
