Minimally invasive surgery for recurrent groin hernias
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma 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)

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 compares open and laparoscopic surgery for fixing groin hernias in men. It aims to find which method works better for patients who can have either type.
This trial tests two less invasive surgery methods for repairing ventral hernias (bulges in the belly area). It may be an option if you have a hernia on your belly wall that isn't in the groin and haven't had hernia repair before.
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 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.
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.
