Minimally invasive surgical repair for inguinal hernia
Part of Digestive system 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 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 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.
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.
