About this study

Official title: Can the Ideal Mesh Size be Standardized for Open Inguinal Hernia Repair; An Anthropometric Study in Central Anatolian Male Patients

Two hundred consecutive unilateral inguinal hernia patients will be included in the study. Patients will be recorded by measuring the distance between the pubic tubercle and the deep inguinal ring, the distance between the inguinal ligament and the internal oblique aponeurosis, the distance between the deep and superficial inguinal ring diameters and their anterior superior iliac spine. The contribution of these measures to the determination of the ideal mesh size will be analyzed.

Read the detailed description

This prospective study includes 200 consecutive male patients who underwent unilateral open inguinal hernia repair since March 2020. Under-18 hernias, complicated hernias, recurrent hernias, and those with laparoscopic hernia repair will be excluded. Initially, the distance between the pubic tubercle and the medial edge of the deep inguinal ring will be measured. Next, the distance between the inner edge of the inguinal ligament and the upper level of the internal oblique aponeurosis will be measured at the Hesselbach triangle. Hesselbach triangle area will be calculated. The diameter of the superficial and deep inguinal ring and their spina iliaca anterior superior (SIAS) distance will be measured. The contribution of these measures to the determination of the ideal mesh size will be analyzed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Can Ideal Mesh Size be Standardized in Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

    Patients will be recorded by measuring the distance between the pubic tubercle and the deep inguinal ring, the distance between the inguinal ligament and the internal oblique aponeurosis, the distances between the deep and superficial inguinal ring diameters and the anterior superior iliac spine. Then the data will be analyzed in the SPSS statistics program. Average, maximum, and minimum values of anatomical dimensions will be subtracted. Relationships with age, body length, and body mass index will be analyzed statistically, and the ideal mesh size detectability will be investigated. When the analysis is completed, the study will be terminated.

    Measured: The time period of the study was determined as 1 March 2020 and 15 May 2020.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inguinal Hernia, run by Konya Meram State Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 28 Feb 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Can Ideal Mesh Size be Standardized in Open Inguinal Hernia Repair (time frame: The time period of the study was determined as 1 March 2020 and 15 May 2020.). 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 NCT04280094, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
