Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gather information on methocarbamol as a pain management treatment for ventral or inguinal hernia repair. Methocarbamol has been part of the pain management treatment for both inpatient and outpatient procedures at Prisma Health. This study will compare the outcomes of patients who receive methocarbamol, those who receive the standard opioid pain management treatment, and those who receive methocarbamol plus the standard opioid pain management treatment. Participants will be randomized into one of the study groups listed below. Primary ventral hernia repair or inguinal hernia repair: Group 1: standard opioid after surgery Group 2: methocarbamol after surgery Open or robotic ventral hernia repair outpatient: Group 1: standard opioid after surgery Group 2: standard opioid plus methocarbamol after surgery Open or robotic ventral hernia repair inpatient: Group 1: standard opioid at discharge Group 2: standard opioid plus methocarbamol at discharge A total of 200 participants will be included in the study. Participation will last for about 30 days after surgery.
This study is conducted to determine whether morphine added to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided (USG) transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has beneficial effects than bupivacaine alone in providing postoperative analgesia for inguinal hernia surgery.
To compare dexmedetomidine and midazolam for intra-op sedation in TIVA in children undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The results of the study if found significant will guide the anesthetist in appropriate choice and dose of sedative drug with highest efficacy and minimum side effects to avoid post operative adverse effects associated with anesthesia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the 4DMESH® used in (robot-assisted) laparoscopic inguinal and femoral hernia repair. The goal of the study will be achieved by assessing the prevalence of recurrences, pain, quality-of-life (QoL), return to daily activities and work and groin symptoms, and by reporting of peri- and postoperative complications in a prospectively maintained database.
This trial will compare laparoscopic and robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repairs, using the Versius® system. We will initially aim to recruit 60 patients (20 patients in the laparoscopic arm and 40 in the robotic arm) in order to assess the ergonomic impact of each modality on the operating surgeon. This aims to provide in vivo information on whether robotic surgery provides any advantages to the operating surgeon. This trial will also be used to assess the feasibility of recruitment to a future larger study, and any data collected will be used as pilot data.
While studies have shown improved postoperative pain control with TAP blocks after inguinal and ventral hernia repair, data comparing Liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) to bupivacaine alone in formulation of the TAP block is particularly scarce. Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized trial comparing the postoperative pain control in minimally invasive ventral and inguinal hernia repair patients who receive an Exaparel-based TAP block compared to the traditional bupivacaine (Marcaine) TAP block.
Rebound pain is a newly defined phenomenon, observed within the first 24 hours after the operation. Open inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure that can be associated with pain of the either acute or chronic character. A peripheral nerve block of the ilioinguinal (IIN) and iliohypogastric (IHN) nerves is a relatively well-known method for postoperative pain management. However, rebound pain after IIN/IHN block resolution may reduce its overall benefit. The primary aim is to assess whether intravenous dexamethasone reduces postoperative opioid consumption and the incidence of rebound pain in patients undergoing unilateral hernia repair in adults.
To compare the mean length of hospital stay in laparoscopic trans abdominal preperitoneal repair versus open mesh repair in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair with mesh.
Inguinal hernias are one of the most common diseases in general surgery practice. In a multicenter study conducted in Germany, inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations. Until the last 20 years, after Lichtenstein described tension-free mesh hernia repair, this method was the gold standard in inguinal hernia surgery. This method was advantageous in terms of both less recurrence and less postoperative pain compared to tension methods. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic hernia surgery was first described by Dr. Ger in 1992. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is based on the principles of preperitoneal repair described by Stoppa in open surgery. Its advantages over laparoscopic surgery are; Less post-operative pain, rapid recovery, reduction in nerve damage and chronic pain, and reduced recurrence rate. However, the disadvantage is that the learning curve is longer and higher cost. Two commonly used laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgeries are Trans Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) methods. Although both are preperitoneal repair methods, less intraperitoneal organ damage, less intra-abdominal adhesion formation, and no need for peritoneal sheath repair are the advantages of the TEP method. For this reason, TEP method has been the preferred method today. Various methods have been tried in order not to change the location of the mesh placed in the TEP method. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia is one of the most debated issues. The most common methods for fixation are tacker, tissue adhesive, or suturing the mesh. However, fixing the mesh using a tacker can cause chronic pain. Tissue adhesives are not preferred because tissue adhesives have high costs and sometimes cause allergic reactions. The method in which the mesh is sewn to the pubic bone is avoided by surgeons because it prolongs the operation time. To avoid chronic pain after surgery, the idea was not to fix the mesh. The major drawback of this method is that the mesh may slip and cause recurrence.This study aimed to reveal the difference between the amount of migration and the amount of post-operative pain between detecting the mesh and not detecting it
This study assessed the outcomes of laparoscopic repair in complicated groin hernia. Laparoscopic approach in cases of complicated groin hernia can achieve desirable patient outcomes without major complications, provided good patient selection and expertise. This study provides an insight to the outcomes from the procedure in low resource setting of Nepal.
