Inguinal Hernia
Conditions
Brief summary
Because it avoids direct nerve irritation or entrapment, mesh fixation with tissue adhesive glue seems an optimal option to reduce postoperative pain. Indeed, preliminary results published with different glues all showed promising results with reduced postoperative pain. This randomized controlled study aimed to compare mesh fixation using N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate with classical suture fixation in Lichtenstein hernia repair in terms of chronic groin pain, postoperative complications, operative time and recurrence.
