ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to repair groin hernias using a special type of mesh that can be seen on MRI scans. The goal is to see how well this mesh works when treated with either a new non-penetrating glue or without any glue at all. Researchers will include 100 adult patients who have a specific type of hernia called an inguinal hernia and are planned for a laparoscopic repair, which is a minimally invasive surgery. Eligible participants must be between 18 and 80 years old and should not have any complicated hernias or other medical conditions that would prevent them from participating.

If you decide to take part in this trial, you will have the surgery performed by experienced surgeons, and then you will have follow-up MRI scans at one and twelve months after the procedure to check on the mesh. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this new mesh technique in helping individuals recover from hernias. Your involvement could help improve hernia repair methods for future patients!
