Study Comparing Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Repair Using 3D ENDOLAP Visible Mesh With or Without LiquiBand Fix 8 Glue

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating laparoscopic treatment methods for groin hernias using a special 3D ENDOLAP visible mesh. The study focuses on comparing the safety and effectiveness of mesh placement without fixation versus fixation using LiquiBand Fix 8 glue. This research involves 100 adult patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernias and aims to better understand mesh visualization and potential recurrence over time. Participants will be randomly assigned during surgery to receive the 3D ENDOLAP visible mesh either without any fixation or with mesh fixation using LiquiBand Fix 8 glue. Both groups undergo a standard laparoscopic procedure. The study includes follow-up MRI scans at 1 month and 12 months to visualize the mesh and monitor its position, with additional checks for hernia recurrence up to 60 months. During the trial, patients will have MRI scans to assess the mesh surface and its placement. Researchers will evaluate hernia recurrence at multiple timepoints including 1, 12, 36, and 60 months after surgery. Safety and efficiency of the mesh fixation methods will be closely monitored. The total participation period can extend up to five years to observe long-term outcomes and any potential complications.
