About this trial

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common types of abdominal hernias. Laparoscopic hernioplasty of inguinal hernia is a good alternative to traditional open repairs even in simple unilateral primary inguinal hernia in terms of decrease post operative pain and complications with comparable recurrence rates.Two techniques are described in laparoscopic hernioplasty and have been extensively studied in randomised trials. The totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach is more widely used than the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach.

In this study we will compare between the results of mesh fixation and non fixation as regard operative and postoperative data.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Any male or female above 18 years old that has uncomplicated inguinal hernia

Disqualifiers

Patients with contraindications to use laparoscopy as cardiac or immunocompromised patients.

Patients who are difficult to follow up.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh
Procedure/Surgery
By fixation of the polyprolene mesh,patients will be divided into two groups: Group 1 includes patients with fixation of conventional polypropylene mesh. Group 2 includes patients without fixation of the mesh.

Treatment groups

30 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: Mesh fixationExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Group B: Non-mesh fixationExperimental treatment 1 intervention
