Safety and Efficacy of the 3DMax™ MID Anatomical Mesh (BD, USA) in Laparoscopic-endoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair - Multicenter, Prospective Observational Study
300 participantsStarted 2026-01-01
Plain-language summary
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the 3DMax MID Anatomical Mesh (BD, USA) in laparoendoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Adult patients undergoing elective transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) or totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair will be enrolled and followed according to routine clinical practice.
The primary objective is to assess the inguinal hernia recurrence rate within 12 months after surgery. Secondary objectives include evaluation of postoperative pain, groin discomfort and foreign body sensation, as well as early and late postoperative complications.
All participating patients will receive the 3DMax MID Anatomical Mesh as part of standard care. No additional experimental procedures are planned. Clinical data will be collected at baseline and during predefined follow-up contacts (early postoperative period, 1 month, 3 months and 12 months) using standardized forms and patient interviews.

* Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:

* Contaminated or potentially contaminated surgical field
* Recurrent inguinal hernia in the same groin (previous repair with mesh or suture)

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
