NCT03563092

Brief Summary

The current study aims to determine whether a use of closed suction drain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery performed for an inguinoscrotal variety can decrease the incidence of symptomatic seroma formation requiring interventions and thus, prevent postoperative morbidity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients developing symptomatic seroma requiring intervention after surgery

    The patients developing symptomatic seroma after hernia surgery, assessed by clinical and radiological evaluation, which needs intervention in form of needle aspiration or sac excision.

    Month 3

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Surgical site infection

    Month 3

  • Postoperative Pain

    Day 1

  • Recurrence

    Month 3

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Factors affecting seroma

    Day 7

Study Arms (2)

Lap Inguinal Hernia repair with Drain

EXPERIMENTAL

A (14 French sizes) closed suction drain will be placed in preperitoneal space after laparoscopic inguinal hernia (TEP/TAPP) surgery.

Procedure: Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia (TEP/TAPP) Surgery

Lap Inguinal Hernia repair without Drain

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

No drain will be placed after laparoscopic inguinal hernia (TEP/TAPP) surgery.

Procedure: Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia (TEP/TAPP) Surgery

Interventions

Standardized minimally invasive approach to inguinal hernia repair
