What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
