NCT07461558
This study will compare two ways of managing a small, hidden hernia that can sometimes be found during minimally invasive surgery to repair a hernia on one side of the groin. Occasionally while fixing the known hernia, the surgeon discovers a small hernia on the other side that has not caused any symptoms. Surgeons do not agree on the best way to handle these hernias. Some believe it should be repaired right away during the same operation to prevent it from getting bigger or from causing symptoms later, which could require another surgery. Others believe it is better to leave it alone since it is not causing problems and groin hernia surgery carries risks including long-term pain. This study will randomly assign patients, if a hidden hernia is found during surgery, to either having it repaired immediately or to have it monitored over time. Patients will be followed up at 30 days, 1 year and 2 years following surgery. The researchers will compare recovery and quality of life between the two groups. For those in the monitoring group, the study will also track whether the hidden hernia causes symptoms or eventually needs surgery. The goal is to determine whether repairing the hidden hernia right away is as safe and effective as watching and waiting, so doctors and patients can make more informed decisions in the future.
NCT07238829
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether two different analgesic techniques - ultrasound-guided Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) and surgical wound infiltration - can improve postoperative pain control in adult patients undergoing open inguinal hernia repair. The key questions that this study aims to answer are: Does TFPB reduce total intravenous opioid consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve postoperative pain scores at rest and during movement compared with wound infiltration? Does TFPB improve patient satisfaction, reduce the need for rescue analgesics, and enhance overall postoperative recovery quality? If there is a comparison group: The investigators will compare the effects of TFPB with wound infiltration to determine whether either technique provides superior postoperative analgesia and reduces opioid requirements. Participants will be asked to: Undergo open inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: TFPB Group: Receive an ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block with local anesthetic. Wound Infiltration Group: Receive local anesthetic infiltration performed by the surgeon along the incision line. Postoperatively: Report pain scores at defined intervals. Receive standardized IV analgesia with documentation of opioid consumption. Allow assessment of rescue analgesic requirement. Be monitored for adverse events and recovery outcomes.
NCT07200076
To compare the mean dulation of post operative analgesia following QL2 block (posterior quadratus lumborum block) and the QL3 block (transmuscular quadratus lumborum block) using ropivacaine 0.25% in patients undergoing unilateral inguinai hernia repair. Rationale of the proposed study is to find an optimal approach for quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in the context of local population as no local study has already been carried out for our population. The study seeks to determine which approach provides superior postoperative pain relief and aspires to establish a clear rationale for the application of one technique over the other in local population. By uncovering the strengths and limitations of each approach, the study intends to guide local clinicians in making informed decisions for optimizing postoperative pain management strategies. The outcomes of this study are anticipated to have a substantial impact on clinical practice, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes, reduced opioid consumption, and enhanced patient comfort following inguinal hernia repair surgeries in local settings.

The study is a prospective, randomised, controlled double-blind clinical trial. The primary aim was to evaluate the efficacy of caudal block and ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block with PI and PVI in pediatric inguinal hernia operations under general anesthesia. The secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative analgesic agent consumption and to evaluate the correlation of PI and PVI values with hemodynamic parameters. Pediatric patients between the ages of 2-8 years who are planned to undergo elective inguinal hernia operation will be included in the study. After the patients scheduled for inguinal hernia surgery are admitted to the operating room, routine monitoring will be performed as performed. In addition to routine monitoring, a Radical-97TM Pulse CO-OximeterTM (Masimo Corp, Irvine, CA, USA) probe will be attached to the toe to monitor PI and PVI. Patients will be given anaesthetic drugs as routinely administered. After LMA by randomisation by closed envelope method, caudal or ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block will be performed by an experienced anaesthetist as the investigators routinely perform in patients other than the control group.. PI, PVI, pulse, saturation, noninvasive arterial pressure values will be recorded before induction, after induction, after LMA, before applied block, after applied block (after surgical incision) at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes and at the end of anaesthesia. All patients will be given paracetamol 10mg/kg iv, which is a routine intravenous (iv) analgesic, at the end of surgery. In case of perioperative complications, the complications will be recorded. Flacc pain scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) will be applied at 0, 2, 6 hours postoperatively. Postoperative analgesic use and discharge time will be recorded. Flacc pain scale will be performed by an anaesthetist blinded to the study.
NCT05574751
Background: Mesh fixation is a critical step in laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) hernia repair because fixation is a significant step to prevent the hazard of mesh migration, but is supposed to be associated with a higher risk of acute and chronic pain compared with non-fixation. Fixation is more expensive than non-fixation. Objective: To compare the efficiency of mesh fixation in laparoscopic TAPP surgical repair of inguinal hernia using sutured repair versus tacker use. Patients and Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study was carried out on 60 patients who presented with a unilateral inguinal hernia and were assigned to laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 patients each); in group A, the mesh was fixed with a Titanium tacker, and in group B, the mesh was sutured and fixed with polypropylene 0.

The study analysed direct levobupivacaine instillation in surgical wound and its effectiveness in postoperative pain control. Half participants received 0,5 % levobupivacaine and the other half received 0,9% saline solution
