NCT02561910 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 952

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effectiveness of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair still remains unclear. During a one year period a total of 1208 inguinal hernias in 952 patients were consecutively operated using the laparoscopic technique by a total of 11 general surgeons in daily clinical routine.

Laparoscopic hernia repair in the TAPP technique seems to have the potential to become the standard procedure in inguinal hernia repair in future.
