About this study
Official title: Laparoscopic Extended View Totally Extra Peritoneal (e.TEP) in Comparison to Traditional TEP Technique for Inguinal Hernia Repair: Prospective Randamized Controlled Study
The aim of this prospective randomized clinical study is to compare effectiveness, feasibility and outcome between total extra peritoneal (TEP) and extended TEP (E-TEP) techniques in repair of inguinal hernia.
Read the detailed description
Groin hernias are the most common conditions referred to surgeons all over the world .The lifetime risk for men is 27.0% and for women is 3.0%. Approximately 75.0% of all abdominal wall hernias occur in the groin.
The techniques which are practiced now for hernia repair are mainly : Transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) ,Total extra peritoneal (TEP) ,Intraperitoneal only meshplasty(IPOM). Each technique has its own applications and pitfalls and has a very gradual learning curve; hence, they have remained confined to the expert hands only.
- Being tested
- Totally extra peritoneal, Extended view totally extra peritoneal
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Totally extra peritonealProcedure or surgery
Patients underwent the totally extra peritoneal (TEP) approach
Extended view totally extra peritonealProcedure or surgery
Patients underwent the extended view totally extra peritoneal (eTEP) approach
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| TEP group | Active comparator | Patients underwent the totally extra peritoneal (TEP) approach Receives: Procedure: Totally extra peritoneal |
| eTEP group | Experimental | Patients underwent the extended view totally extra peritoneal (eTEP) approach Receives: Procedure: Extended view totally extra peritoneal |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Degree of pain
Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the visual analog scale (VAS). VAS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable").
Measured: 24 hours postoperatively
