Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized clinical trial comparing self-gripping mesh with a standard polypropylene mesh for open inguinal hernia repair.
The introduction of mesh for open inguinal hernia repair has reduced the rate of recurrence, allowing research to focus on prevention of postoperative pain. In an effort to reduce chronic pain, a semiresorbable, lighter and self-gripping mesh was developed. ⋯ NTR1212 (http://www.trialregister.nl).
