Modified vs. standard laparoscopic hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a modified version of laparoscopic hernia repair to the standard approach. If you have a unilateral inguinal hernia and are in good health, you may be eligible to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a hernia on one side (unilateral inguinal hernia).
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ASA I-III).
- You are able to give your consent to participate.
- You are not pregnant (if female).

This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
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 trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgical technique to repair inguinal hernias that have returned after previous surgery. The goal is to evaluate how well this approach works and what outcomes patients experience.
This study compares two surgical methods — TAPP (a laparoscopic, or keyhole, surgery) and open repair — to fix a hernia in the groin that has come back after a previous surgery. The goal is to see which technique works better for this type of repeat hernia.
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.
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.
