The Importance of Preserving the Round Ligament in the Repair of Inguinal Hernias in Women
Sponsor: Muhammet Mustafa Vural
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of preserving or not preserving the round ligament during laparoscopic Trans Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal (TAPP) hernia repair on postoperative outcomes in female patients. Specifically, the study will compare outcomes such as postoperative pain, seroma, hematoma, prolapsus of uterina , recurrence rates, and quality of life between patients whose round ligament was preserved versus those whose ligament was cut.
Official title: A Prospective Analysis of the Effects of Round Ligament Preservation and Division in Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair in Women.

Interventions
Laparoscopic TAPP (Trans Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) hernia repair: Round Ligament Preservation
Group 1 (Round Ligament Preservation): Patients will undergo laparoscopic TAPP surgery with the round ligament preserved. The preservation will be achieved using a longitudinal incision technique in the peritoneum.
Laparoscopic TAPP (Trans Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) hernia repair: Round Ligament Cutting
Group 2 (Round Ligament Cutting): Patients will undergo laparoscopic TAPP surgery with the round ligament cut close to the peritoneum using an energy device.
