Comparing two laparoscopic repair methods for groin hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive techniques for repairing a groin hernia (a bulge where tissue pushes through muscle). The goal is to see if a newer method improves recovery and outcomes compared to the standard approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.

- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA I-III).
- You are not pregnant (if female).
- You have no severe health conditions like heart failure, bleeding disorders, or uncontrolled diabetes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
