Primary sac abandonment with distal sac fixation versus complete sac dissection for inguinoscrotal hernias

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial compares primary abandonment of the hernia sac with distal sac fixation to complete sac dissection during trans abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair for inguinoscrotal hernias. Endpoints include postoperative seroma incidence, operative time, and short-term hernia recurrence. Eligible participants have inguinoscrotal hernias and are candidates for laparoscopy under general anesthesia; cases with strangulation or prior recurrent hernias are excluded. The study is led by Kasr El Aini Hospital in Cairo and does not list additional collaborators. The trial aims to determine whether a sac-abandonment approach offers advantages over full sac dissection in this surgical setting.
