This pre-market, prospective, randomized, non-inferiority clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and performance/effectiveness of Glutack-Glubran® Tiss 2 system compared to Glutack-Glubran® used for mesh fixation in laparoscopic and robotic hernia surgery to obtain the indication and upgrade the medical device Glubran® Tiss 2 to class IIb.Cyanoacrylate is the generic name of a group of fast-acting adhesives such as ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, n-butyl cyanoacrylate, 2-octy1 cyanoacrylate sold under various trade names and blend. Cyanoacrylate is a liquid acrylate monomer that polymerizes exothermically in the presence of water, especially with hydroxide ions, joining the bonded surfaces in 4-5 s and reaching the final stage in 60-90 s . It bonds body tissue excellently and shows bacteriostatic effects . The film of glue is eliminated by hydrolytic breakdown, a process whose duration varies according to tissue type and quantity . In contrast to most cyanoacrylate glues used only for external applications as skin wound closure, Glubran® 2 is a modified n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (Glubran® 2 - N-Butyl 2 Cyanoaciylate [NBCA]+ Methacryloxysulfolane [MS]), class III medical device, CE-certified for both external and internal use . Glubran® 2 effectiveness in repairing hernias with less post-operative pain, less complications, less hernia recurrences and a greater cost-effectiveness is largely documented . Other cyanoacrylate-based glues are authorized to fix hernia meshes, i.e.: Histoacryl (pure NBCA; classified as class IIb medical device), Liquibond FIX8 (pure NBCA; classified as class III medical device) and Ifabond (n-hexyl-cyanoacrylate; classified as class III medical device). Others are authorized to be used for specific internal indication like Omnex (2-Octyl-CyanoAcrylate [OCA] + Butyl-Lactoyl-Cyanoacrylate), which is indicated for use in vascular reconstructions. Sometimes, abroad, also some cyanoacrylate-based glues are applied for internal uses even if not authorized . The present prospective and randomized study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness and safety of another cyanoacrylate-based glue called Glubran® Tiss 2 (NBCA + OCA), classified as class IIa surgical medical device, CE-marked (under the European Union [EU] Directive 93/42 EEC), being already authorized for use as atraumatic fixation system: Glubran® 2. Both medical devices have previously demonstrated to be well-tolerated and safe. Glubran® 2 and Glubran® Tiss 2 were to be applied by Glutack®, a CE-marked medical device system for glue application in the surgical field. Glutack® is the related Glubran® 2/ Glubran® Tiss 2 applicator device for laparoscopic mesh fixation procedures was fabricated to offer a precise and controlled delivery of Glubran® glues . Glubran® Tiss 2 fulfils the requirements of EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 (confirmation letter received by the relative Notified Body). The composition of Glubran® Tiss 2 is obtained by mixing two different monomers of cyanoacrylate (NBCA + OCA); this gives the product a better elasticity, while maintaining high levels of tensile strength. In fact, international scientific literature has shown that the common NBCA is the cyanoacrylate molecule with the greatest tensile strength (34.27 N), low elasticity, while OCA has a lower resistance (11.27 N) but has good elastic properties. Glubran® Tiss 2 glue has a tensile strength of 27.34 N and thanks to the presence of OCA, also excellent elasticity . Among its characteristics, this formulation has haemostatic, sealing, bacteriostatic and adhesive properties. Polymerization begins 1-2 seconds after application and completes within 60 seconds. The polymerization reaction generates a temperature of approximately 45°C, which is lower than that of pure cyanoacrylates . Glubran® Tiss 2, indicated also for use in paediatrics, is a sterile, ready for use, blended cyanacrylate adhesive to be used on the skin and mucosal tissues, which is approved as class IIa medical device, effective even in patients anticoagulated and with congenital coagulopathies .
The study is aimed to clinically assess the AnovoTM Surgical System in ventral hernia procedures. Extensive preclinical testing of the system's integrity and safety has been performed to assure adequate safety for this trial.
LDH is a common phenomenon that is often described in association with various pathological processes affecting the neuromuscular and locomotor systems. It is not only associated with pathology but it can also be observed in healthy individuals with no evidence of any dysfunction. Since LDH is observed in such a large percentage of healthy subjects, it is probably more appropriate to perceive it as a physiological phenomenon with silent clinical biomechanical changes
This study assess the (cost-)effectiveness of open versus laparoscopic Percutaneous Inguinal Ring Suturing (PIRS) technique for unilateral inguinal hernia repair in children aged 0-16 years.
The purpose of RECOVER is to evaluate the performance and safety of Transorb™ self-gripping resorbable mesh in high-risk subjects (at least one risk factor impairing wound healing) when used for reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissues in procedures involving open extraperitoneal ventral hernia repair, in clean (US); and clean and clean-contaminated (Europe) surgical fields (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Classification I and II. Data from this study will primarily be used to support market approval and European post-market clinical follow-up needs. Secondarily, data will be used for product marketing, future product development, and to support market release and maintenance in global geographies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if mindfulness education works to reduce pain after inguinal hernia operation in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does mindfulness education reduce the pain level after inguinal hernia operation? Does mindfulness education reduce the pain intrusion level after inguinal hernia operation? Does mindfulness education reduce the fear of pain level after inguinal hernia operation? Participants will: Pain level, pain intrusion and fear of pain levels will be determined 24 hours before surgery. Awareness training will be given before surgery. Pain level, pain intrusion and fear of pain levels will be determined 24 hours after surgery.
The aim of this study is to find out if using a certain kind of mesh can reduce the chances of hiatal hernias coming back after anti-reflux surgery. Participants undergoing antireflux surgery will be assigned to one of two groups, a group that has surgery with mesh, or a group that has surgery without mesh.
Low back pain is a symptom that is frequently seen in the general population and reduces the quality of life of patients. Conventional medical treatment for patients with low back pain includes oral medication, lifestyle modification, education, exercises, lumbar traction and manual manipulation, heat application, and other interventional procedures. Epidural injections, one of the interventional procedures, are one of the common treatment methods for low back pain, especially caused by disc prolapse. Steroids are commonly used to reduce inflammation in the epidural space. Epidural steroid injection can be given to the lumbar epidural space via transforaminal, interlaminar and caudal routes, and the effectiveness rate of each is different. These interventional methods used to treat low back pain can be applied in combination. The main purpose of this study is to observe how adding lumbar sympathetic blockade will affect the patient's pain in the postoperative period in patients to whom we applied caudal epidural and transforaminal steroid injection.
This prospective study aims to assess the efficacy of the OviTex 1S permanent mesh in pelvic floor surgery in comparison with the current standard polypropylene mesh.
