Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

There are in excess of 1 million operations performed annually to repair inguinal hernias, mostly in the male population. Unfortunately, some patients continue to suffer both groin or testicular pain for varying lengths of time postoperatively. This can lead to a severe degradation of the patient's lifestyle, work habits and sexual function. The origin of the pain is felt to be secondary to the inflammatory reaction caused by the mesh. This also involves the spermatic cord and its structures, leading to orchidinia and possibly azospermia.
