Mesh Fixation and Closure of Peritoneum Following Laparoscopic Hernia Repair Using N-butyl Cyanoacrylate

St John of God Hospital, Vienna34 enrolled

Overview

Fixation of mesh and peritoneal closure during TAPP repair using n-butyl cyanoacrylate.

During transabdominal pre peritoneal (TAPP) hernia repair a mesh should be fixed at four pre-determined points. Number of attempts to fix the mesh with a novel non-penetrating fixation device (LiquiBandFix8) will be recorded. This novel device uses n-butyl cyanoacrylate and a defined amount of glue can be delivered with this 5mm laparoscopic instrument (liquid anchors). In addition, closure of peritoneum should be accomplished using this device.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Safe Fixation of Mesh and Closure of Peritoneum by Clinical Investigation During Hospital Stay and Telephone Interview at Six Weeks Postoperatively.

Clinical examination during hospital stay to rule out any bowel obstruction due to insufficient closure of peritoneum. Telephone interview at six weeks postoperatively to record any adverse events in the early postoperative period such as recurrent hernia, pain or bowel obstruction.

Time frame: During hospitalization and 6 weeks after surgery.
