Mesh Removal Versus No Mesh Removal for Chronic Groin Pain After Inguinal

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is evaluating the management of chronic post-operative inguinal hernia pain and the impact of hernia mesh removal after previous minimally invasive inguinal hernia repairs. The study aims are to evaluate the change in chronic (>6 months), nociceptive, postoperative inguinal pain after mesh removal compared to no mesh removal in patients who have previously undergone minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair with pre-peritoneal mesh.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a double-blinded, parallel (1:1) group, randomized-controlled, superiority trial. Patients will be blinded to their treatment allocation and will understand that by entering the study, they may receive diagnostic laparoscopy only in which case their mesh will not be removed. However, they will be allowed to consider crossing over to the mesh removal group 6 months or later after surgery if they do not have adequate pain relief. Patients will receive written and oral descriptions of the trial and will be provided time to review written documentation in private. Written and oral consent will be obtained, and patients will understand that their participation is voluntary and refusal to participate will not affect future medical care. Patients may also withdraw from the trial at any point throughout the study period. The Cleveland Clinic Center for Abdominal Core Health, a center within the Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute (DDSI), at Cleveland Clinic Foundation Main Campus in Cleveland, Ohio is the hosting department for this study. Cleveland Clinic - Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights, Ohio will also be a participating center in this study. Fellowship-trained surgeons with expertise in complex abdominal wall reconstruction and mesh removal will perform the operations. If enrollment fails to meet necessary accrual size within the study timeframe, additional centers may be invited to participate. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
