View clinical trials related to Hernia, Inguinal.
Filter by:Inguinal hernias are associated with problems related to the venous system by the linking to extracellular matrix alterations (ECM). On the other hand, arterial diseases (arterial aneurysms, carotid, stenosis, peripheral artery disease) are widespread in the general population and may share others pathological pathways related to ECM impairment. Aim to this study is to evaluate the prevalence of arterial diseases in patients with inguinal hernia.
This prospective double-blind randomized study will aim at evaluating the short- and long-term postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with a combination of local anesthetic and dexmedetomidine in inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia
Inguinal hernia is one of the most-common surgical conditions. Incidence is about 27% in males and 3% in females.The treatment of this condition is inguinal hernia repair operation which can be approached with several techniques; open hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair and robotic hernia repair. The current guidelines recommend the hernia repair operation with mesh placement either Lichtenstenstein operation or laparoscopic technique; transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal technique (TEP). In the laparoscopic approach, one of the complications that can occur is post-operative pain from the mesh fixator. So the self-gripping mesh becomes another option to decrease this incidence.However the adhesive property of the mesh is still challenging for many surgeons. Several techniques of self-gripping mesh placement were introduced. One of the popular techniques is bilateral vertical folding of self-gripping mesh which still causes some adhesive problems when introduced to the target area. This research's aim is to present a new technique of the self-gripping mesh placement which is more effective, more convenient, and decreases the time taken to place the mesh at the surgery site.
Failure of closure of the processus vaginalis during intrauterine life will result in congenital inguinal hernia [CIH]. Exact incidence of CIH in children is not known but it has been reported between 1-5 %. In premature babies, the incidence may reach up to 15-30%. Congenital inguinal hernia is more common in boys than girls, ranging from 4:1 to 10:1 [1]. Although the open inguinal herniotomy and high ligation of the sac is the gold standard line of the treatment, Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair become a good option. The laparoscopy has many advantages that it is simple, feasible, and safe with detection of the contralateral hernia and other hernias. In addition to laparoscopy results in excellent cosmetic results low wound infection, less pain, and short hospital stay. The non-division of the hernia sac in during laparoscopic hernia repair may be the cause of recurrence and postoperative hydrocele [5]. Division of hernia sac and suturing of proximal part at IIR; is modification of the laparoscopic technique which mimic what happen during open herniotomy. Some authors resected the processus vaginalis and closed the inguinal ring for the repair of CIH. They claimed that they have excellent results with low recurrence.One author described a technique based on the theory that CIH is due to a patent processus vaginalis, and therefore, the procedure should be to entirely resect it, with or without closure of the internal ring. This allows the peritoneal scar tissue to close the area of the ring. Also, this scarring occurs in the extent of the inguinal canal where the dissection took place, therefore causing the same peritoneal scarring and sealing of the inguinal floor with complete resolution of the problem. However, a few studies address the superiority of technique over the other and to date there is no controlled randomized study to compare needlescopic disconnection of the hernia sac and closure of the peritoneum at IIR versus disconnection without closure of the peritoneum.
Regional analgesia for inguinal hernia repair in children has attracted increasing interest and different techniques like Caudal block, lumbar epidural block, wound infiltration, Ilio-inguinal nerve block and paravertebral block have been used with varying success. Ilio-inguinal nerve blockade has been widely used in this context but the duration of the block is also limited to the early postoperative period. Paravertebral blockade has been shown to produce long lasting postoperative analgesia when used in combination with general anaesthesia in paediatric herniorrhaphy . Ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block is one of the newer and technically simpler alternatives to the traditional PV block . The aim of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided retrolaminar block(RLB) as an analgesic technique in surgery of pediatric inguinal hernia in comparison with with ilioinguinal nerve block(INB). It is hypothesized that RLB block will provide longer duration of postoperative analgesia than INB with few side effects.
This investigation will be a double-armed, randomized prospective study designed to compare open (Lichtenstein Technique) versus laparoscopic (TAPP) repair of primary unilateral inguinal hernia. Chronic pain, restriction of activities and esthetical outcome will be evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively, at 1, 4 and 12 months, using the European Registry for Abdominal Wall Hernias Quality of Life score (EuraHS-QoL score).
Prospective, monocentric, observationnal study. The primary objective of this study is to identify if presurgical child or/and parental anxiety is predictive of chronic postsurgical pain in abdominal or urologic ambulatory surgery.
This study aims to explore the difference in outcomes relating to pain and quality of life after open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair.
Study to evaluate the safety and performance of LiquiBand FIX8® Open Hernia Mesh Fixation Device.
A prospective cohort study recruiting participants from the Shouldice Hospital. The study population consists of healthy patients electing to receive hernia surgery for a primary inguinal hernia on an inpatient basis. The goal of this study is to determine the incidence of hernia pain and its intensity as well as other related outcomes up to one year after primary unilateral inguinal hernia repair.
