Hernia, InguinalNCT02367573
3D vs 2D HD Laparoscopy in Inguinal Hernia Repair
A study testing 2D laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair and 3D laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair in people with Hernia, Inguinal, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.
Trial summary
Inguinal hernia can be repaired laparoscopically. In the normal laparoscopy there are only two-dimensional view, which is somewhat challenging when operating in three-dimensional environment. The three-dimensional laparoscopic systems are gradually entering the operating rooms. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: 3D Versus 2D HD Laparoscopy in Inguinal Hernia Repair: a Prospective, Single Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Trial
Inguinal hernia can be repaired laparoscopically. In the normal laparoscopy there are only two-dimensional view, which is somewhat challenging when operating in three-dimensional environment. The three-dimensional laparoscopic systems are gradually entering the operating rooms. There are plenty of evidence of the benefits of 3D-system in laboratory conditions. However, no prospective randomized trials have been published in the clinical point of view. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate is there something to gain in changing into 3D laparoscopic system in the transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 2D laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair and 3D laparoscopic TAPP inguinal hernia repair in people with Hernia, Inguinal, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Finland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Duration of surgery (time frame: Expected average time of surgery 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02367573, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jun 2018.
