Swing-Mesh™ Study (SMS).
Sponsor: Swissmed Hospital
Summary
This multicenter, prospective observational study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the Swing-Mesh™ implant (THT BioScience™, distributed by B. Braun™, France) for laparoscopic-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair using TAPP or TEP techniques. Swing-Mesh™ is a lightweight, macroporous, three-dimensional mesh designed to conform anatomically to the myopectineal orifice without requiring fixation. Eligible adult patients undergoing elective repair will receive the implant. The primary endpoint is hernia recurrence within 6 months. Secondary endpoints include postoperative pain, groin discomfort, and early and late complications. The study will provide clinical evidence regarding the non-inferiority of this spatial, fixation-free mesh compared to standard devices in minimally invasive hernia surgery.

Swing-Mesh™
A lightweight, macroporous, three-dimensional polypropylene mesh implant developed by THT BioScience™ and distributed by B. Braun™, used in laparoscopic-endoscopic inguinal hernia repair without fixation. The mesh is designed to conform to the anatomical shape of the myopectineal orifice and is available in two sizes (15×11 cm or 16×12 cm).
