Fibrin Glue Versus Tacked Fixation in Groin Hernia Repair (TAPP)

Fibrin Glue Versus Tacked Fixation in Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Repair. A Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Trial.

In this study the researchers want to compare fibrin glue versus tacked fixation in fixation of the mesh in laparoscopic groin hernia repair. The primary endpoints are early pain in the first 3 days postoperative days. Moreover, the researchers investigate general well-being, fatigue, seroma, haematoma, postoperative nausea and vomiting. Thirdly, they are investigating chronic pain and clinical recurrence.

• ASA I-III
• fluent Danish

Exclusion Criteria:
