An interventional study of Lichtenstein Mesh Hernioplasty in Hernia, Inguinal, Postoperative Pain and Recurrence, sponsored by Samsun Education and Research Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-04.
Sponsored by Samsun Education and Research Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Management of indirect hernial sac in inguinal hernia repairs has long been a subject of debate among general surgeons. Although hernial sac high ligation (HL) is a time-honored concept in groin hernia surgery, non-ligation/invagination is gaining more popularity. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of hernia sac ligation and invagination in patients with Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty (LMH). Also, investigators aimed to investigate the possible association between the hernial defect size and postoperative early pain in both groups.
561 studies on the registry are indexed under Hernia, Inguinal; 76 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 108 is above the median of 90 across 414 interventional studies indexed under Hernia, Inguinal.

Exclusion Criteria:
High ligation of the indirect hernia sac is traditional in inguinal hernia repairs. In this arm, patients with indirect inguinal hernia undergoing open mesh herniorrhaphy will have their hernia sac was opened and high ligated.
Procedure: Lichtenstein Mesh Hernioplasty
In this arm, the patients' hernia sac will be dissected high but not opened or ligated. The sac will be invaginated to the abdomen.
Procedure: Lichtenstein Mesh Hernioplasty
The inguinal canal was opened and the hernia sac was dissected from the spermatic cord The deep inguinal ring was tightened with one or two polypropylene 2/0 sutures. The posterior wall of the inguinal canal was supported using the standard polypropylene mesh and fixed with 2/0 polyproline. The ilioinguinal nerve, iliohypogastric nerve, and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve were preserved and care was taken to prevent entrapment.

Ran from Jan 2020 to primary completion in Jan 2021, 12 months.
Of 181 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hernia, Inguinal, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 35. This study's 12 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 190 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 35.
