Minimally invasive surgery for recurrent groin hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older)
- Your inguinal hernia (groin hernia) has returned after a previous surgery
- You are healthy enough to safely receive general anesthesia (being put to sleep for surgery)
- You are willing to consent to participate in the study
- Your hernia is not complicated (e.g., not strangulated or infected)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques for repairing ventral hernias, which are bulges in the belly area. The goal is to see which method leads to better outcomes, such as less pain and faster recovery.
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.
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 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.
