Minimally invasive surgical repair for inguinal hernia
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have an inguinal hernia (or hernias on both sides) that has not been surgically repaired before
- Your hernia is not strangulated (twisted or cutting off blood supply)
- You are healthy enough to safely undergo surgery, with no severe heart, lung, kidney, or other organ problems

This study tests a minimally invasive (small incision) surgery to repair a groin hernia. The goal is to see if the approach is effective and helps you recover quickly.
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 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 trial tests a new, less invasive procedure that uses images (like ultrasound or CT) to guide a needle and fix a hernia without open surgery. It may be a good option if you have a reducible hernia and cannot or do not want traditional surgery.
This trial compares two ways to repair a hernia in children: laparoscopic surgery (using a small camera) and open surgery (a traditional cut). It aims to see which is more effective and cost-effective.
