NCT06389331 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 88

Last updated 2024-08-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The defect closure was found to have higher pain and less seroma formation at various intervals of time following TEP for moderate-large direct inguinal hernia. Although these findings were statistically insignificant, they may be clinically significant, and further studies with a larger sample size are suggested.

Conditions

  • Hernia
  • Direct Inguinal Hernia
  • Seroma Following Procedure

Interventions

OTHER

closed the defect with barbed suture

In direct hernia, content was reduced, and the fascia transversalis (pseudo sac) was pulled and incorporated into closure with a non-absorbable polypropylene barbed monofilament size-0 suture
