简要总结
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed general surgical procedures. Mesh fixation in Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty is traditionally done using polypropylene sutures, but this may increase postoperative pain, operative time, and risk of nerve entrapment. Cyanoacrylate surgical glue has emerged as an alternative method for mesh fixation that may reduce pain and operative time without compromising surgical outcomes.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare mesh fixation using cyanoacrylate glue versus polypropylene sutures in adult patients undergoing elective Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair. The study will evaluate postoperative pain, operative time, postoperative complications, return to activities, hospital stay, recurrence, and patient satisfaction. The findings may help determine whether glue fixation can be recommended as a safe and effective alternative to suture fixation in routine hernia surgery.
