Hernia surgery study on gas timing and blood changes
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how long the gas used during laparoscopic hernia surgery affects bicarbonate levels in the blood. It may help doctors understand how to better manage your body's chemistry during this type of hernia repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using the TAPP method.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study.

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 types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before hernia surgery to see which one works better for pain after the operation. The blocks target muscles around the belly area to help you feel less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study looks at two types of numbing injections (TAP and RS blocks) to see which helps people recover better after groin hernia surgery. If you are having a planned single-side hernia repair, you might qualify to join.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain during laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) versus general anesthesia plus a nerve block (TAP block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
This trial compares two different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic hernia surgery to see which one helps maintain better oxygen levels. It may help reduce lung complications and improve recovery after surgery.
