Effects of Using Divided Mesh and Using a Non Divided Mesh on Testicular Blood Flow and Volume in Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Not Applicable
Conditions
Hernia, Inguinal
Registration Number
NCT03421925
Lead Sponsor
Okan University
Brief Summary

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair techniques has been compared with the open techniques in several studies. However, no one studied about the different uses of the same type of mesh on the same surgical technique, and effects of this different use on testicular volume and blood flow. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects at 6 months of the divided and non divided mesh in laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair technique on testicular volume and blood flow by use of Doppler Ultrasonography
