ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is comparing two different methods for repairing inguinal hernias, which are a type of hernia that occurs in the groin area. The two techniques being studied are Desarda's technique and Lichtenstein's technique. The goal is to see which method works better for patients who need elective surgery for non-complicated hernias, meaning their condition isn't causing serious problems at the moment.

To participate in this trial, you should be at least 14 years old and have a reducible inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernia, which means the hernia can be pushed back into place. However, if you have certain health issues like severe lung disease or a history of hernias that keep coming back, you may not be eligible. Participants will receive one of the two surgical techniques and will be monitored for their recovery and any potential complications. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and it’s a great opportunity to contribute to understanding which hernia repair method may be more effective.
