Fixation is more expensive than non-fixation.\n\nObjective: To compare the efficiency of mesh fixation in laparoscopic TAPP surgical repair of inguinal hernia using sutured repair versus tacker use.\n\nPatients and Methods: This prospective randomized comparative study was carried out on 60 patients who presented with a unilateral inguinal hernia and were assigned to laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 patients each); in group A, the mesh was fixed with a Titanium tacker, and in group B, the mesh was sutured and fixed with polypropylene 0.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '21 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age ≥ 21 years\n* American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status ≤ II\n* Patients with body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 35 kg/m²\n* Unilateral inguinal hernia\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age \\< 21 years\n* ASA physical status \\> II\n* Patients with body mass index (BMI) \\> 35 kg/m²\n* Pregnant women\n* Bilateral inguinal hernia\n* Large inguinoscrotal hernia\n* Incarcerated hernia\n* Recurrent hernia\n* Strangulated hernia\n* Prostatic diseases\n* History of; Convulsions, Cerebrovascular accident, Previous neurological diseases\n* Dysrhythmia\n* Hypertension\n* Ischemic heart disease\n* Hyperthyroidism\n* Liver or Renal impairment\n* Alcohol or drug abuse'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05574751', 'briefTitle': 'Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Surgical Repair of Inguinal Hernia Using Sutured Repair Versus Tacker Use', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER_GOV', 'fullName': 'Damanhour Teaching Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Surgical Repair of Inguinal Hernia Using Sutured Repair Versus Tacker Use', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'DTH: 22002'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Titanium tacker group (n=30)', 'description': 'Group A', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Titanium tacker']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Polypropylene group (n=30)', 'description': 'Group B', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Polypropylene 0']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Titanium tacker', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Mesh fixation with Titanium tacker', 'armGroupLabels': ['Titanium tacker group (n=30)']}, {'name': 'Polypropylene 0', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Mesh was sutured and fixed with polypropylene 0', 'armGroupLabels': ['Polypropylene group (n=30)']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Damanhūr', 'state': 'El-Beheira', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Damanhour Teaching Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 27.38333, 'lon': 30.95}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Ahmed M Shaat, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Damanhour Teaching Hospital'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Damanhour Teaching Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
