Staples vs. Sutures for Hernia Repair Mesh
Part of Infections, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of attaching mesh during hernia surgery—staples versus sutures—to see which leads to better healing and fewer problems after surgery. You'd have a 50/50 chance of receiving either method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male patient aged 18–75 years old
- You have a single inguinal hernia (in the groin area) that has not been repaired before
- Your hernia is uncomplicated and not causing an emergency
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I or II; your doctor will confirm this)
- You do not have active urinary symptoms or trouble emptying your bladder
- Surgery must be scheduled as planned (elective), not emergency

This trial compares two surgical options—closing with stitches (suture) versus using a surgical mesh—to repair an incisional hernia. It may help find which approach works best for preventing problems and improving recovery for people with certain hernia sizes.
This study compares two ways of securing the mesh during keyhole surgery for inguinal hernia. It may help reduce pain and recovery time.
This trial compares two ways to repair an inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). The goal is to see which technique works better and has fewer problems.
This study compares two ways to fix a mesh during groin hernia surgery: 3D patch with one stitch versus no stitches at all. It aims to see which method leads to less long-term pain and fewer hernias coming back. If you have a first-time, moderately large groin hernia, you may qualify.
This trial is comparing two ways to repair incisional hernias: the standard method versus a newer technique that combines a mesh with the tissue closure to make the repair stronger. The hope is that this new approach leads to fewer hernias coming back after surgery.
This trial tests using surgical glue instead of stitches to hold a mesh in place during laparoscopic hernia repair. It could mean less pain and a quicker recovery for you.
