Comparing two mesh types for double hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of mesh used during laparoscopic surgery to fix an inguinal hernia on one side while also repairing a small, symptom-free hernia on the other side. The goal is to see if one mesh causes less long-term pain than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a hernia on one side that causes symptoms (like pain or bulging) and a hernia on the other side that does not cause symptoms.
- You are scheduled to have laparoscopic surgery to repair both hernias at the same time.
- You are willing to give written consent to participate.
- You do not have a hernia that is stuck or strangulated (emergency situation).

This study compares removing the pre-surgery mesh versus not removing it in people who have long-lasting groin pain after inguinal hernia repair. It may help doctors learn which approach best reduces ongoing pain.
This trial tests a new 3D mesh (Optomesh 3D) for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia using laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective the mesh is without using extra fixation. This could mean a simpler procedure and possibly less pain after surgery.
This trial compares two surgical methods to repair a type of back hernia that happens after a past surgery or recurred. It aims to see which method helps better for people with incisional or recurrent lumbar hernias.
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 is comparing two minimally invasive surgery techniques for fixing ventral hernias (a bulge in your belly wall). One technique places the mesh inside the belly, the other places it outside the belly lining. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
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.
