NCT ID: NCT06314815 Completed - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric Nerve Block Prior to Shouldice Inguinal Hernia Repair

NBSS
Start date: January 11, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks into the preoperative care regimen at Shouldice Hospital for inguinal hernia repair marks a significant shift in pain management strategies. While Shouldice Hospital has traditionally not employed this technique, recent literature highlighting its potential benefits has prompted its trial within their patient population. Research in this area, although limited, suggests promising outcomes. Studies such as those by Beaussier et al. (2005) and Nehra et al. (1995) have demonstrated decreased postoperative pain and opioid use, as well as increased mobility associated with the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. However, concerns such as orthostatic hypotension and rebound pain have also been noted, indicating the need for careful consideration and monitoring of potential adverse effects. More recent studies, particularly those focusing on the Lichtenstein repair, have further supported the potential benefits of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks. Kacmaz and Bolat (2020) found improved patient satisfaction, reduced opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stays associated with nerve block techniques. Additionally, the use of adjuncts such as dexamethasone has shown promise in reducing rebound pain and opioid requirements postoperatively. The purpose of evaluating the use of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital is multifaceted. Not only does it aim to enhance patient care and satisfaction by improving pain management strategies, but it also provides valuable insights for anesthetists and surgeons regarding the utility and efficacy of this technique within the context of inguinal hernia repair. Furthermore, the trial may facilitate the refinement of current practices, potentially leading to standardized protocols that optimize patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. In summary, the introduction of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks at Shouldice Hospital represents a proactive approach toward enhancing perioperative care for inguinal hernia patients. By leveraging emerging evidence and adapting to evolving clinical practices, the hospital stands to benefit from improved patient outcomes and potentially contribute to the advancement of pain management strategies in hernia surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06314152 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

3-point With 1-point Mesh Fixation in TAPP for Inguinal Hernia

Start date: January 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was designed to compare the outcome of 3 point with 1 point lightweight mesh fixation in TAPP surgery for patients with inguinal hernia. The main outcome include seroma, chronic pain, recurrence, et al.

NCT ID: NCT06298500 Not yet recruiting - Inguinal Hernia Clinical Trials

Clinical Performance of HISTOACRYL® LAPFIX - CANNULA for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

HISTOLAP
Start date: March 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this retrospective study is to identify the incidence of hernia recurrence following the application of Histoacryl® Lapfix - Cannula for laparoscopic mesh fixation in patients undergoing hernia repair surgery. All adult patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with Histoacryl® Lapfix - Cannula in the period June 2018 - March 2021 at Hospital San Juan de Dios will be analysed. The investigator team will access electronical medical records for the cohort of patients identified.

NCT ID: NCT06258317 Not yet recruiting - Inguinal Hernia Clinical Trials

Mesh Fixation Versus Non Fixation in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernioplasty

Start date: February 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common types of abdominal hernias. Laparoscopic hernioplasty of inguinal hernia is a good alternative to traditional open repairs even in simple unilateral primary inguinal hernia in terms of decrease post operative pain and complications with comparable recurrence rates.Two techniques are described in laparoscopic hernioplasty and have been extensively studied in randomised trials. The totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach is more widely used than the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach. In this study we will compare between the results of mesh fixation and non fixation as regard operative and postoperative data.

NCT ID: NCT06240858 Completed - Inguinal Hernia Clinical Trials

Clinical Study of Self-gripping Mesh in TAPP Versus Lichtenstein Hernia Repair

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this prospective study is to compare the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair, in order to improve the outcome of inguinal hernia treatment. The main question it aims to answer is, in which procedure is the self-gripping mesh more effective. Participants will be divided into the TAPP group and the Lichtenstein group by random number table method, the TAPP group underwent laparoscopic transperitoneal preperitoneal hernia repair, and the Lichtenstein group underwent Lichtenstein hernia repair, both groups used self-gripping meshes. Researchers will compare the operation time, postoperative time out of bed, postoperative hospital stay, hospital costs and postoperative complications between the two groups to see the clinical efficacy of self-gripping mesh in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal versus Lichtenstein hernia repair.

NCT ID: NCT06218160 Completed - Inguinal Hernia Clinical Trials

The Addition of Hydromorphone to Local Anesthetics for the Repair of Inguinal Hernias in Elderly Patients

Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To compare the clinical and postoperative analgesic effects of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine and ropivacaine alone in quadrangular muscle block for open inguinal hernia in elderly patients.

NCT ID: NCT06167759 Active, not recruiting - Opioid Use Clinical Trials

Preventing Opioid Misuse Through Safe Opioid Use Agreements Between Patients and Surgical Providers

Start date: December 5, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The effect of pain agreements to reduce opioid misuse is an accepted practice in many settings, but it has never been applied to the acute care setting. Pain agreements are considered the standard of care for chronic pain management reliant on opioid prescribing, and they are a mandated component of care in many states. Therefore, the adjunct of safe opioid use agreements into acute pain management offers a logical extension of current practices from chronic pain management. This study will test the use of agreements to improve safe opioid use to prevent misuse and opioid-related harm.
