Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic pain rate is from 0 to 50% after prosthetic groin hernia repair. We compared two anterior technique positioning the mesh in the pre-trasversalis space vs preperitoneal space to assess any differences in term of chronic pain and early and late complications

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic pain is evaluated in all presenting types (achy, dull, etc.) moreover foreing body sensation, wall stiffness, paresthesia and numbness are controlled in each patients. Limiting of daily, working, sport and sexual activities (disejaculation) are reported as well.

pre-trasversalis mesh repair group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

anterior hernia repair

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Inguinal incision is made, external oblique divided and the cord is encircled after identifying ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. The sac is dissected and reduced, in case of direct hernia the posterior wall of inguinal canal is plicated with polypropylene suture; in presence of indirect hernia the sac is reduced and a stitch is passed in manner that the deep ring is snug about the cord. A pre-shaped mesh is positioned on the floor of the canal around the cord with the two tails overlapping laterally; the mesh is then anchored to the pubic tubercle. External oblique is reapproximated with the cord transposed in the subcutaneous space and skin is sutured.

trans-inguinal preperitoneal patch group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

transinguinal preperitoneal patch repair

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Through a 5-cm inguinal incision external oblique fascia is divided, cremasteric fibers are separated and the elements of the cord are skeletonized. Indirect or direct hernia is approached and through the hernia orifice, the sac is reduced, preperitoneal space is accessed and dissected to allow easily placement of the patch facilitated by the memory recoil ring. In case of indirect hernia the lateral part of patch is split and the two tails sutured around vas and gonadic vessels. Hernia orifice is closed with a polypropylene stitch through transversalis fascia and the mesh; external oblique is closed followed by skin approximation.
