Filter by:Aim: To investigate whether ultrasound-guided perineural administration of 20 ml bupivacaine 5 mg/ml vs 20 ml isotonic saline at the ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerves have a clinically analgesic effect after unilateral open inguinal hernia repair.
LIFE-IN. Quality of life after operation for hernias are not well investigated and lack a good and easy-to-understand-tool to measure it. Carolina Comfort Scale (CCS) is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, designed by an American group, to monitor quality of life in patients undergoing operation for hernias. The investigators wish to test this questionnaire against Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for core-hernia symptoms, to see if the CCS is a good way to monitor the changes in quality of life and other well-known core-symptoms before and after herniotomies.
Aim of this study is to measure the effectiveness of topical gentamicin to prevent post-operative infection in inguinal tension-free hernia repair operation.Secondary aim is, if it is effective as a prophylactic agent, to compare it's effect with intra venous single dose cefazolin sodium prophylaxis.
Inguinal hernia repairs is clean surgical procedures. However infection may be a concern when prosthetic materials are used. This prospective randomized study has been set to observe if antibiotic prohylaxis is of benefit in mesh repair of inguinal hernias.
This study will assess pain intensity for the first 72 hrs after after aggravated movement (cough)following open laparotomy inguinal herniorrhaphy in patient who receive either the CollaRx Bupivacaine implant or a plain collagen sponge.
The primary objective of this study was to determine the appropriate dose of SKY0402 for the management of postoperative pain following inguinal hernia repair. This study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of SKY0402 compared with a 100 mg dose of bupivacaine HCl for the treatment of postoperative pain in subjects undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Study drug was administered by surgical wound infiltration at the end of the hernia repair procedure.
This an open, uncontrolled multicenter clinical study to assess the safety and performance of the WK-6 surgical mesh in adult patients with unilateral inguinal hernia. The primary objective is to determine the safety of the WK-6 surgical mesh. Data will be compared retrospectively with published studies on inguinal hernia mesh. The secondary objectives are to explore the performance of the surgical mesh by measuring the pain pre and post surgery as well as a number of relevant variables for establishing the performance of the mesh. Data will be compared retrospectively with previous studies on inguinal hernia mesh with a follow-up of at least one year.
Does corticosteroid (dexamethasone) have an effect on the postoperative period after laparoscopic hernia repair, when it comes to pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and convalescence. This randomized, double-blinded study compares dexamethasone versus placebo. The patients are recommended one day of convalescence. The medicine or placebo is given before operation. The patients fill out questionnaire before operation and three hours after operation and in the following three days. The patients also register when they return to normal activities and work.
The purpose of the study is 1. To compare the recurrence rate of the laparoscopic total extra peritoneal inguinal hernia repair without fixation of the mesh to mesh fixation under spinal anesthesia 2. To test whether non-fixation of mesh leads to less pain compared to the repair when the mesh is fixed.
Pain after laparoscopic groin hernia repair consist of different pain components (overall pain, shoulder pain, incisional pain and visceral pain). Thus it is important to find out which of these pain components that is most severe, so intervention can be targeted.
