| Current status of trial | Active, not recruiting |
| Sponsors and collaborators | Cook Cook Biotech Incorporated MED Institute, Incorporated |
| Information provided by | Cook |
| ClinicalTrials.gov identifier | NCT00393887 |
| Purpose | Aim is to evaluate outcomes of inguinal hernia repair incorporating the standard Lichtenstein (open) repair using Surgisis IHM in a double blind (physician evaluator and patient will be blinded), randomized, prospective comparative study with polypropylene mesh. Outcomes are recurrence, return to full activities, pain, seroma rates and complications. Patients will be followed at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-operatively, and every 6 months after that for 3 years. Hernia recurrence will be confirmed via ultrasound or CT scan. |
