Filter by:The study is devoted to the impact of preemptive regional Transversus abdominal plane block on the postoperative acute and chronic pain after elective Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.
Lichtenstein technique, inserting a mesh over the inguinal cord in the neurological plane, is considered the standard of inguinal hernia repair, but it has 4% recurrence and 12% chronic postoperative pain. Rives technique inserts the mesh in the preperitoneal space behind the neurological plane and the muscular plane, thus better fulfilling the principle of hydrostatics.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate patient quality-of-life (QOL) after inguinal hernia repair. "Carolinas Comfort Scale" (CCS) assessments will be held at regular intervals. The secondary objective of the study is to follow short-term and long-term study-related complications/adverse events.
This study's objective is to assess the efficacy of a Self-fixating mesh in the surgical repair of unilateral inguinal hernia, which is becoming the new standard of care in open surgical repair of inguinal hernia. The study design is interventional, enrolling 300 patients above 18 years of age, admitted for elective repair in the surgical department of Rambam Medical Health Care Campus, an academic medical center. The study will assess several outcomes including post-surgical pain, recurrence, quality of life and post surgical complications (e.g. wound infection, the formation of hematoma or seroma, etc).
