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 doing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery: one where the mesh is stitched in place, and one where it is left without stitches. The goal is to see which method works better for patients.
This trial compares three ways to secure mesh during groin hernia surgery to see which causes the least pain. You might join if you need hernia repair and are generally healthy.
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 compares two ways to repair an inguinal hernia without using mesh. It may be an option if you are a man over 18 who needs a straightforward hernia repair.
