Inguinal HerniaNCT04203940
Sutured Versus Cyanoacrylate Glue Mesh Fixation for Inguinal Hernia Repair
A study testing Cyanoacryale and Suture in people with Inguinal Hernia, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Sutured Versus Cyanoacrylate Glue Mesh Fixation for Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
- Conditions
- Inguinal Hernia
- Being tested
- Cyanoacryale, Suture
- Medical subject headings
- Hernia, Inguinal
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CyanoacryaleProcedure or surgery
mesh fixation was done using dots of N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate tissue glue
SutureProcedure or surgery
mesh fixation was done with polypropylene 2/0 sutures
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cyanoacrylate | Active comparator | mesh fixation was done using dots of N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate tissue glue (Histoacryl®). Receives: Procedure: Cyanoacryale |
| Suture | Active comparator | mesh fixation was done with polypropylene 2/0 sutures Receives: Procedure: Suture |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain score at 12 months after surgery
Pain assessed by visual pain scale from 0-10
Measured: 12 months after hernia repair

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain score at 12 months after surgery (time frame: 12 months after hernia repair). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Dec 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
