About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Pilot Study Comparing Transabdominal Properitoneal (TAPP) Versus Totally Extra Peritoneal (TEP) Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernioplasty in Recurrent Inguinal Hernia

The purpose of this study was to compare between laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia in recurrent inguinal hernia.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective in this study was to compare postoperative pain between the TAPP group and the TEP group. The secondary objective was to compare operative time, intraoperative complications (bleeding, bowel injury, vascular injury), postoperative complications (hematoma, seroma, wound infection), length of hospital stay and recurrence rate with possible risk factors which include gender, age, BMI ,cord lipomas and location of the hernia.

Receives: Procedure: Total extraperitoneal (TEP) hernioplasty using polyprolene mesh

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative pain

    by use of visual analog scale (VAS) where (0) refereed to no pain and (10) refereed to the severest pain.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. operative time

    operative time by minutes was reported to get mean and standard deviation

    Measured: 6 months

  2. complications

    complications will be described as number and percentages in each group

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) using polyprolene mesh and Total extraperitoneal (TEP) hernioplasty using polyprolene mesh in people with Recurrent Inguinal Hernia, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 22 Sep 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

Postoperative pain (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Sep 2023.
