No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a laparoscopic surgery called Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair is safe and works well for adults with a recurrent inguinal hernia (a groin hernia that has returned after a previous operation).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the TAPP technique lower the number of complications after surgery? How well do participants recover during the early postoperative period and long-term follow-up? Fixing a hernia that has returned is hard because of old scar tissue. In this study, researchers will use the TAPP technique to work through a different layer of tissue to provide a stronger repair.

Participants will:

Undergo the TAPP laparoscopic surgery for their recurrent hernia. Visit the clinic for close health monitoring shortly after surgery. Complete regular follow-up checkups to track their long-term recovery.

Conditions

  • Recurrant Inguinal Hernia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) Repair

The surgical procedure will be performed under general anesthesia. Standard laparoscopic instruments will be used to access the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneum over the recurrent inguinal hernia site will be incised to enter the preperitoneal space. After reduction of the hernia sac and clearing of post-operative adhesions, a synthetic mesh will be placed to cover the hernia defects. The mesh will be secured if necessary, and the peritoneal flap will be closed using sutures or tacks.
