3D mesh for first-time laparoscopic hernia repair
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a planned (not emergency) repair of a first-time inguinal hernia.
- Your surgery must be laparoscopic (done through small cuts) using either the TAPP or TEP method.
- The surgeon plans to use a special 3D mesh (called Optomesh 3D) without extra stitches or glue to hold it in place.
- Your hernia cannot be a recurrent one (one that came back after a previous repair).
- The hernia must not be extremely large (especially not extending into the scrotum) or of a specific complex type (M3 or combined M3+L1-L3).

This study compares three ways of holding the mesh in place during hernia surgery to see which causes the least pain and best outcomes. If you're having this surgery, joining could help improve recovery and comfort.
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 looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to repair a groin (inguinal) hernia using a 3D “visible” mesh, with or without an added fixation method. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are planning a laparoscopic repair, this trial may be an option to discuss with your surgical team.
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.
This study is testing a new system (ECLIPSIUM) for fixing mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well for people with a single midline hernia (ventral, umbilical, or incisional) that is small to medium size (1-5 cm). If you qualify, the study will help doctors repair your hernia with a special mesh that may reduce complications.
