Filter by:The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after Lichtenstein repair of groin hernia, depending on mesh type and fixation suture material. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
The goal of this study was to evaluate chronic pain and reoperation rates due to recurrence after groin hernia surgery in women compared to men and surgical method.
This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of 284 subjects (142 in each group). Patients will be blinded to the fixation method used. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the LiquiBand FIX8® device to the tack-based control device (AbsorbaTack™) for laparoscopic groin hernia (inguinal or femoral) repair. The primary outcome measure is an improvement in pain score measured by VAS at 6 months. Secondary outcomes include the ability to affix hernia mesh, the ability to approximate the peritoneum, recurrence rate, and quality of life (Carolina Comfort Scale).
The study attempts to quantify the relative risks for recurrence depending on complex combinations of plausible risk factors, in particular mesh, mesh fixation, hernia size and hernia type. For this purpose the investigators will analyze data from the Swedish Hernia Registry (SHR).
Although mesh fixation has been associated to an increased incidence of nerve injury and involves increased operative costs, many surgeons feel that fixation is necessary to reduce the risk of hernia recurrence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic herniorrhaphies performed with and without mesh fixation at our institution.
In the present study the investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between surgical methods and chronic pain in over 20 000 patients who underwent groin hernia repair in Sweden
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.
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.
In this study the researchers want to compare fibrin glue versus tacked fixation in fixation of the mesh in laparoscopic groin hernia repair. The primary endpoints are early pain in the first 3 days postoperative days. Moreover, the researchers investigate general well-being, fatigue, seroma, haematoma, postoperative nausea and vomiting. Thirdly, they are investigating chronic pain and clinical recurrence.
