A study on laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair tested the effectiveness of using cyanoacrylate glue (ifabond™) instead of traditional mesh fixation. Postoperative pain significantly decreased at 5 weeks and 12 months after surgery, and there was a noticeable improvement in patients’ quality of life. The study reported a 13.74% rate of chronic groin pain at the 12-month follow-up, with few patients requiring analgesics. This technique proved safe and reliable, providing better patient outcomes and a high level of surgeon satisfaction while minimizing complications.
